Judy King Sanders (the
source author) and visitor of this cemetery in 1996 says the cemetery is not in
good condition. It is an open cemetery and cows have been allowed to roam over
it. Another source is the Giles County Cemetery Historical
Society book. The GSC book say also that
Elizabeth Hickman and husband J.B. Hickman (or Morrow) is interred here without
headstones. They offered no listings for any other burials. Photo by John
