The following photos of the Bash Cemetery were provided by Peggy Anthony and show the condition of the site after it was cleaned, about 1998. The site is now completely overgrown with the headstones in unknown condition.

The empty area in the center is presumed to be where Christian is buried. No original headstone has been found for Christian. A new headstone was dedicated at the Reunion in 1999 and placed in the Denmark Manor Cemetery in August 2004. The stone at the far right with flag is Henry Lauffer, son of Christian. Henry's wife, Barbara Alliman, is buried next to Henry.
