It is on private property near Election Oak, on a hill covered with juniper cedars and is difficult to negotiate. It is named after William Gary, an early settler and also the oldest grave. It has also been known as the Pool Cemetery because it was on land owned by the Pool family. South of the main part of the cemetery was a chain link fence with several graves. In addition to the named gravestones, there were about 20 or more graves with stones but no names. Some were piles of rocks. A square rock fnce that had been put together with mortar had been torn down. It was reported that a number of graves had been relocated since the cemetery was no longer being used. |
