Hill Creek Cemetery

This cemetery has at least 70 graves which are marked only with rocks at foot and head, most of them children. The west end seems to be all children and all rock markers. There are four old funeral markers of the type which become unreadable with age. The graves from which information can be gleaned are listed.
