The Armstrong Cemetery has a lot of family secrets that could answer many questions for us but it has been allowed to go to ruin. This land was given as a cemetery by William Armstrong, father of Sarah Armstrong Yankie. (It is located adjacent to the properties of William Armstrong and Jonathan Yankie.) It is reasonable clear that William Armstrong gave a part of his land to Sarah and Jothathan when they were married on Feburary 23, 1832.

The Armstrong Cemetery is where Sarah Armstrong Yankie is buried and it is told that one of Mahala Jane Yankie's youngest boy is also buried there, his name was Fletcher, he died before his teens.
