Maxwell Run Cemetery
Transcribed by Andrew Byerly, Shirley Pierce and Nathan Zipfel.
The cemetery appears to have had a fence running around it at one point. There are concrete piers all around the cemetery which would have supported the fence. Someone has placed a large number of newer stones. If you have any updates or corrections, please contact me.
