If this were a larger cemetery, which it has been reported it was in the
past, it is no longer recognizable as such.
2011 Note: I stopped at this house and asked about
the permission to visit and whereabouts of this cemetery. I was taken to
the owners front yard flower bed. Only the owner knew the stones were
there. The two remaining stones were fallen into the ground and had sank
below the surface. I dug them up and stood them against the nearest
tree. The lady was pleasant and said she did not mind or at least did
not object to this. She also said the stones were like that when she
moved onto the property several years ago. I guess cemetery enthusiast
should be thankful that the land owner was given a bad situation turned
it into a flower garden.
1986 Note: It was reported by a Mr. Garrett that several years ago, a
lady, unknown to him, came to the cemetery and removed several
tombstones. Where she took them remains a mystery. He does not know
where they were taken nor anything of the missing stones.
