Ken O'Neal has supplied
the location of this farm Cemetery. Can anyone give the official
name of this cemetery? Ken mentioned that the cemetery is on
his ancestor Peter O'Neal's original homestead, so perhaps it
could be named the O'Neal Cemetery?
Ken sent the following photos
of some of the stones in this cemetery as well as the
genealogical information
on Peter O'Neal and Sarah Sparks.
