Alvie Lemley took me to this cemetery in a four-wheel drive vehicle.
We counted twelve graves in this cemetery but only two had tombstones. The rest were marked with unlettered fieldstones.

Through all pain, at times he'd smile a smile of heavenly birth,
and when the Angels called him home he smiled farewell to earth.
