The stone spire is in the middle of the 11-25 section, while the graves are in the northwest corner. An old photo from about 1917 shows the spire and their individual stones.
2025-Jun-29: Found the individual stones just under the surface. Dug them out, added soil (actually, sand), to the area because it was low, and put the stones back higher. They say "Mother" and "Father". Such stones are usually placed at the feet of graves (east side of graves), facing west, but these are on the west side of the graves, facing east. Thus it is not certain in which direction they were buried. All other graves have the deceased with their heads to the west and feet to the east.
