| Located approx. 300 to 400 yd. north of Robin Rd. (Route 633), 0.8 miles east of Cutbank Rd. (Route 609), and about 300 yd. west of the old Cumbia home. A 5 ft tall marble obelisk has “FLINT” inscribed on one side and “CUMBIA” on the other. This very overgrown cemetery is quite large, approx. 50 ft x 50 ft, with remnants of an old decorative wire fence around it. Fieldstones and depressions indicate many other graves. |
