As you can see from the photos this cemetery has recently undergone a restoration to rebuild the grounds, and clean & repair the broken stones. Even the fieldstones were painstakingly set back in place. I think Wayne Owens & Jim Steelman did the work but not 100% certain of that.  If you are a descendant you might consider contributing to a fund to keep it as they have it now.

Photographed on a Saturday evening 14 Oct 2014. The inscriptions were updated with exceptions found or known by C. Wayne Austin. This publication culminated from various sources. Listed on page 178 of the book Lincoln County County Cemeteries by Tim & Helen Marsh, abt 1978. Added here 18 Apr 2015. Also found on Findagrave.com where Jim Steelman & Wayne Owens has done an outstanding job of presenting this cemetery.
