James H. Hess Cemetery
Located: Rte. 67 south out of Raven, turn right on road # 635 toward Horton Ridge. The cemetery is on a knoll above the second house on the right
There are two sections , one is fenced and well kept. The other is grown over and the graves are sunken very deep.I didn’t have time to transcribe the grown over section. I did take some pictures of the stones (the ones I could get to ).
