There is believed to be one colored female named Adaline and two Indians buried on the outside edge of this cemetery.
This information was handed down through family. There are no markers here but there is an iron ore rock fence surrounding the burial site.
The great grandchildren have been there several times & are going to place a large marker inside the enclosure with the family names on it.
