I was told the area back in this little snug cove was on a road to
Campbellsville or some other place such as Wales at one time and there
was an old school here in this valley. There is
another graveyard several hundred
yards to the east of this place where only fieldstones mark the graves.
It is at the top of a tall hill. This could mean that graveyard was the
slave graveyard if his family were slave owners or it may be a graveyard
for children that died in the old school, among other possibilities.

Since there is no local mapping for this cemetery there is no one to locate this cemetery for casual visitors, so no photos there.
