This cemetery was found in bad shape. It is fenced but the fence has fallen in places.  The above small photo was made when one could see the entire cemetery back in the winter of 2011. It has since grown up as you will see from the photos on the front page. A giant Oak tree on the the north has fallen across the gravestones and did a lot of damage. It is now rotting & covering the stones, and allowing weeds to grow up.

Photographed on a sunny Wednesday morning of 6 May 2015. The inscriptions were updated with exceptions found or known by C. Wayne Austin. This publication culminated from various sources. Listed on page 54 of the book Lincoln County County Cemeteries by Tim & Helen Marsh, abt 1978. Added here 16 May 2015.
