This is by far the most difficult cemetery to reach. Located on private property, the cemetery has been unmaintained for a number of years.

The Haskins Burial Plot is located on Army Corp land. It's located near Uncle Rufe's cabin, and it was unmaintained at the time we located it in May 2020. We have since cleaned it and decorated the graves. We plan to provide annual maintenance to the graves. We were able to find an unknown family connection to the cemetery, and the story has been covered in the Old Mill Run.
Located on private property, this cemetery is what is left of the original Mt. Lebanon Cemetery. Several graves have washed away with the change in waterways, and only a few graves remain.
