This old rural cemetery near the former Ceylon community is notable for its graves, most of which are marked only by simple wooden crosses scattered across the grounds rather than carved headstones. Fewer than a fifth of the burials have a stone marker. In recent years the site has become heavily overgrown and largely forgotten, with dozens of the plain wooden crosses standing among more than fifty otherwise unmarked graves.
