From the Hennen Cemetery Records:

"Located near Legion Home, most markers down in ravine, broken"

Prior, Mary d. 7 - 5-1844 aged 7 yr 5mo 21da
Consort of John Prior

....., Elizabeth aged 59yrs
Consort of John W........

At one time this has, perhaps, been a rather large cemetery;
however, it has been neglected and destroyed."

These stones have been moved from their original locations. I am unsure where they were originally, but somewhere in this general area. They have been reset, just outside of the parking lot at the VFW in Jefferson, with a small fence erected around them. The stones that are left are mostly unreadable, with a couple broken ones. It is difficult to say how many graves are actually in this cemetery.

Most of the stones that are left however, appear to date from the 1840s, or prior.
