Three sets of initials etched in the concrete when it was set many years ago, before 1970. Don't know if these are from the Daughters of the American Revolution ladies, or some of the descendents that sealed this cemetery, or just some nub heads that happened along before the concrete dried. Anyway their tribute-initials: W.R.S.; J.E.P.; A.D.S.:1628

This two-grave cemetery is located 3/5 of a mile south Of Bloucher-Ford cemetery on the east side of the road, and approximately 1 mile north of the McCrary-Wright Cemetery. The graves are located on the bank of the road and the bank has been reinforced with cement and rocks to keep it from washing away around the graves, William Pettey purchased the NW 1/4 of Section 14, covering 160 acres (where this cemetery is located) in 1815. There is a wet weather branch running thru there on its way to empty into the Flint River.

Any other graves represented as being here must be backed up with facts. There is no visual evidence of other graves being here. There are footstones in place for each of these graves which have been broken off probably by farm equipment in the past. One with the initials W.R. for William Pettey. The other one's top is missing.
