Approximately 1.8 miles due south of that tower there is an unnamed cemetery. Can anyone tell me what, if anything, is known about this cemetery and has it ever been investigated and tombstones transcribed? Am trying to find my Great Great Grandfather who may be buried in that cemetery. His name was Erastus L. Adams and is believed to have died c.1910-1912..."
