Additional info from Sheri Onley Raynor:

Since I live close to the church, I rode down and took a few pictures to show you where the 
graves were since the ones that were visible when I was a child are barely noticible now 
(picture 0101, 0102).  In pictures 0101 & 0102 you will find the remains of two gravesites side 
by side that were covered in brick.  They were approximately 6 to 8 feet long and were raised
in an arched pattern. 
 
The other graves (picture 0105) which were once very noticible as indentations in the ground are 
not very noticible.  The Ruitans must have leveled the lot out somewhat although I did find a low 
place or two when walking through the lot.  None of these graves were marked to the best of my 
memory. 

NOTE: These will be the last 3 photos.
