This cemetery was walked on October 11, 2003 by Keith and Teresa Maddox. This cemetery is in very bad shape, soon Mother nature will reclaim her land. The only clearing is what you see in the picture the rest is over grown. We found a lot of grave markers but some we could not get to. There looks to be a dried up creek bed next to it, climbing the hill was real fun with all the weeds and trees that have taken over. You would not know a cemetery was here if not for the sign. You can not see the grave markers unless you look real hard for them.





This is an over all look at what the cemetery looks like today and some of the grave markers that we found.












This is what most of the Grave markers look like, just stones to mark where someone is buried. Not sure how big this cemetery is.



My wonderful husband helping me with transcribing the Grave markers, I would not be able to do this without his support and help.
