     "Little Family Cemetery: on the west 1/2 of SE 1/4, section 17, is a burial ground of Martin and Sarah Rittenour and some of their descendants.  It
was bought in 1847 by Mormon elder by the name of Fullmer.  This cemetery has always been enclosed with a stock fence and throughout the more
than one hundred kent and fifteen years, even though the land has had several different owners, it is well kept.  The farm is now owned by George and
Peggy Bergmeier.  There are no more vacant lots or parts of lots.  The last ones buried there were Reamer Coffman in 1950 and his wife Olive
Brodie Coffman in 1951.  Reamer was a grandson of Martin and Sarah R. Little".

Township, turn right on the blacktop at the Nauvoo-Colusa High School corner and drive 5.3 miles east into Pontoosuc Township.  Turn North about 2
miles; then turn west about 1/4 mile into a pasture northwest of the house (about 300 yds.  They do not identify the house.
     No description of the place is given and no statement about arrangements if any for its upkeep with the exception of the item about fencing.
Also, nothing about ownership as the names since the 1847 sale by Fullmer.
