About 3 or 4 years ago, the brush had been cleared around the cemetery and it was easy to spot. It was around that time that the trailer had been placed behind the cemetery. A direct descendant of Richard Risher, had placed a brand new chain link fence around the cemetery before the clearing took place. More than likely when the area was cleared, a tree or trees fell on the fence, I have never noticed any indentations outside the small fenced in area. But as mentioned I found it after the land had been cleared and leveled. Never saw any signs of dogs being placed inside the small fenced in area. After the death of Mary Huff Risher, widow of Richard, her grandson Paul Risher purchased the land 400 acres, "..more or less one acre excepted being the old family burial ground." This was done in 1890, Paul had paid $800 for the land and the money was distributed among Mary's heirs. Apparetnly in 1890, the Risher Family Cemetery did contain more marked graves, than just the three within the fenced in area. Unfortunately, those three graves will probably be lost too.
