Martin, 1900 (no headstone, Minnie Martin, 1902 (no headstone). |

The cemetery was part of the original homestead and was deeded to the "McGuire Family Cemetery Association", April 4, 1900, containing abtout 2 acres. The property was likely sold to the county for back taxes as there were no remaining family members still living in Gosper County after 1902.--William McGuire |
