Armstrong Cemetery

One of the earliest grave I found in this cemetery is that of Joshua Armstrong a Revolutionary War veteran buried in 1844. There were a few that were dated earlier. The newest graves were dated in the 1940's. Many stones were broken and/or tipped over including some of the newer stones. There is also at least one pile of graves stones. As is visible in the pictures the cemetery is quite over grown.

Earliest Burial: 03/08/1842

Latest Burial: 01/01/1942
