This cemetery was supposed to be the Taylor Cemetery, but it was felt that the steepness of the grade would be too much for some people to hike up there. So they put the larger cemetery down near the road. It still has an upward and a downward grade, but is much easier for burials and for the mourners to get there. To get to the family plot it is very steep no matter which way you go.
