Sources: Visited and photographed stones on 16 Apr 2015 by C. Wayne Austin.  Added here 20 Aug 2015. This cemetery is also listed on page 10 Moore County Cemetery Records book by Tim & Helen Marsh, about 1976. However, we generally find some new listings and others we do not find because a few more stones were decayed and lost. I failed to photograph the underside of the James A. & Rebecca Wilkins monument, in other words I missed the James A. Prosser inscription. However the findagrave contributors failed to photograph the underside of the P.G. & America Prosser monument, nor did the Marsh book include the listing for P.G. Prosser.
