There was a mention of a visit to the cemetery.

I just wanted to point out that those of you that have relatives buried in
the Agency City cemetery prior to about 1875/1880 might want to visit soon.
The older stones are weathering to the point of becoming unreadable, and some
stones are crumbling to dust. Others are face down in the ground. I noticed
similar, though a little less severe conditions, in the McIntire cemetery.

Does anyone know if there was a cemetery survey done of this cemetery showing
where burials are in relation to one another? I know there have been some
gravestone readings, but some connections might be lost if you don't know where
they are positioned in relation to others.
