An O'Neal Cemetery Found!

I recently got an email message from Jerry Miller, better known as Tanker06@aol.com. He wrote.............."I found an O'Neal cemetery out in the middle of a pasture last summer, and can't remember if I told you the names. You probably already know about it, but I thought that I'd give you the info again, in case I hadn't. I'll have to get you the info once I get home - I'm at work right now. The cemetery is in West Providence Twp, real close to the Monroe Twp line. Three stones readable, one pretty much destroyed."

Followed by the following..........."In the enclosed .jpg format file, (reproduced below) you will find the red-cross that marks the location of an O'NEAL family cemetery in East Providence Township. (Just match my enclosed picture against your township map, which is where I copied the small portion from.) 
There are four graves, three of which are readable, the fourth stone having been evidently destroyed (just a stub left) by a tractor or plow. 
I wasn't sure if you knew about the following graves, or if these folks might be in your line of research. Just an FYI. If they were of any use, or not, I'd appreciate an e-mail back." Jerry 

Above is the map, showing how to get there. I wonder who will get there first and take photos and find out more info about the cemetery.
Below is the information Jerry copied from the stones.............
