Condition:  Considering its location it is in good condition.  It is under a canopy of large oak and elm trees and the ground is covered in iris.  It's remoteness is probably it's saving grace, as there is no access to the location and cannot be seen from any road or dwelling.  Very few people know it exists.

There are only two matching white marble tombstones in the small cemetery:

This photos is of the graves of Adam and Harriett Burchfield.

Adam and Harriett died within three months of each other, probably from a typhoid epidemic which took dozens of lives from 1871-1873 in Kaufman County.  They had several children at the time who were sent to live with neighbors.

There are seven other burials at this site.  Five are marked with cement blocks stuck in the ground and two are marked with bois d'arc stumps. There are faded silk flowers on four graves, which appear to be several years old.
