Photos were not so good for this cemetery. It was during the rainy weather and the moss & lichen was difficult to remove. Also the whole cemetery was grown up in foliage so that stones lying on the ground were hard to find. The Mullinax (sp?) family are the landowners surrounding the cemetery. Shorty is the farm Caretaker. The gates are double padlocked so if you go here make advanced arrangements.
