Surveyed by Shirley Olson on April 30, 2004.

There is a rusted fence surrounding the graves and many fallen trees leaning over the cemetery. Most of the grave markers have crumbled or have been rendered unreadable. The cemetery is not endangered because it is located in Umstead Park, but it is seriously deteriorated and could use some maintenance, especially removal of the large trees hanging over the fence. There appears to be at least 7 graves, only 3 are positively marked. This is an abandoned cemetery no longer in use.
