Dan Reed notes:
I visited this cemetery in October 1995, it was fairly grown up with briars and in the shadows of large hardwood trees. It was not in the best of shape in regards to tombstones.

When I was there, I wrote down the LeSueur tombstones included here but also there were Lesters buried here:

                         LESTER
    Millard H.                      Fannie L.
July 24, 1884              Dec. 23, 1887
July 25, 1959              July 18, 1973

I do not have any pictures of this cemetery but am planning on going back. I am determined to find as many old, abandoned cemeteries as possible and record who is buried there. I went visiting a few weeks ago to the old Linza Lester cemetery and was told that there was a Boyd cemetery nearby but it was bulldozed over and the tombstones removed (not know where) many years ago...this most likely was those of Newberry T. Boyd, one of my hard-to-trace ancestors.
