If there are just the 50, you might get atleast one person to go with you and record all of them that are legible That way there is a record of them. You could donate the list to the Western Maryland Room at the library or the Historical Society. In a message dated 8/13/2011 9:00:36 P.M.

I went there last week but it has electric fences around because of the cows on the farm. I spoke to the owner, who said he will help me to get through the fences some evening. He said there are about 50 old graves in it. I plan to go to see it and hope there might be some of my ancestors there who I have not found to date (especially Anthony Baltzer, a Revolutionary War veteran who died in 1842). I wondered if anyone else has been there or knows anything about it or would like me to look for anyone when I visit it.

It would also be awesome, should you make a list, to donate a copy to the cemetery project on rootsweb.

I agree, that would be wonderful. I am particularly interested in any Walkers who might be in that cemetery.
