Mr. Horace Jerry Holland and others provided a wealth of information in this cemetery about their ancestors on headstones which look to be set largely about 1950-1960 on flat style granite markers. While it is less clear which of these ancestors were buried in this cemetery, findagrave.com has that pegged fairly well. I suspect that several of the tombstones represent what is termed a "Cenotaph" the term for a memorial stone set not over the remains of the one being memorialized, but just there to remember the loved one when it is not known where the body is located.
This cemetery is covered in Vinca Minor and shrub that are overrunning the graveyard. I slang bladed some of of the excess away but more needs to be done. Some gorgeous old Box Elders are present here along with other shrubs. These grow so slow they are hardly ever a problem. [CWA 29 Nov 2014]

Henry Langston was a brother to Dicey Langston, American Patriot, Revolutionary War Heroine.[Dicey Langston, was a bold dame, reckless rider and expert shot, who saved her family, and an entire village during the American Revolution. Having faced British soldiers, rushing swollen rivers, the "Bloody Scouts," and the barrel of a pistol, nothing had quite prepared Dicey for the heart-pounding exhilaration she�d find in the arms of one brave Patriot. She later married, had 20 children and lived to age 71.]

This presentation is based on the photography of C. Wayne Austin who visited here 24 Apr 2014. Some consideration was given as to what was listed on findagrave.com, though there may be errors there in dates
and unlisted names not corrected. Mostly the stones were translated here especially the ones that have been ignored because they are involved and complicated. Posted 29 Nov 2014
