Appears this is the Young Family cemetery, located just outside the former settlement of Croton. Here you can find the grave of Thomas Young and his second wife Jane, his first wife Mary Ann and the two children they had together Melven and Mable. The other graves are from the Young family with the exception of a single grave of one William J and Nancy Butler and their son William. Strangely i found another cemetery with the Butler name not very far from this area so i wonder the story behind this oddly placed grave. There was a cement slab with a rusted nameplate but i somehow forgot to shoot it. Also it appears someone buried something in a corner and its since been dug up and left to rot.
