This is a large area and many open spaces that may contain unmarked graves or fallen stones buried under the debris. The grass was too high to get a good feel for unmarked graves.

*There are folks with the surname Worsham buried here, but no dates nor names are known. (note posted in the Cemetery book as noted below)
