Commentary about this cemetery by Jean Cosby when she and Ed visited there in the 1990s: They say at one time it was a rather large cemetery, but people have carried off lots of the stones and there aren�t many left. I don�t know how it is now because we read these cemeteries in the late 90�s.
By CWA after visit 18 Nov 2016: My estimation is the condition of this cemetery is about the same. Many stones lye around with no sign of the inscribed part. A large Maple Tree has died and fallen on the stone for Lucy S. Tillery and is putting about 1,000 pounds of downward pressure but as the log rots it is lessen up in weight. It has harmed the stone but not the inscription. I tried to lift it away but there was not enough muscle.
