This photo looks at north side of the cemetery at the Dunlap area a prominent and substantial family who settled in this neighborhood in more recent times. One glance at the tombstones tells the story of how long ago they inhabited this neighborhood.

We are looking at the memorials around the sidewalk to the building. Don't ever discount the little child or mother's stone just because they are the only surname in the cemetery. Often that is a real clue to your lost ancestors moving around. For instance look at this listing in this cemetery: BROWN, Mary W., 7 Jun 1861 - 4 Mar 1897. "Wife of J. E. Brown.". Now by looking at the list it is obvious that Brown is not a prominent surname in this cemetery. However for those looking for lost ancestors this may be a clue as to a family who was here for a short time, maybe as the traveling minister of this church, who moved on and became more prolific somewhere else. Chances are great that Mary Brown died (as often happened) from female causes related to childbirth and R. E. moved away  and remarried and maybe became prolific somewhere else. Men lived longer than women and children often died in childhood in the 1800s related to the complications of childbirth and the infectious diseases.
