The only formal stone found standing was that for Lizzie Pillow. Perhaps there are others which can be dug from the dense brush and top surface of the ground if the ground were cleared. The other graves listed above are from the various records of the past including the Giles County Cemetery book of 1987 and family history records of Malinda Stanford White.
