PRUIT-McCAU CEMETERY (24)
LOCATION: Section 23-1S-1W - N/2 SE NW
PRUIT, LOUISA C. - In Memory of Louisa C. Pruit, Daughter of Valentine G. and Mary Pruit. Born May 24th, 1833 - Obt. July 14th, 1834.
Note: All stones in this tiny family cemetery have been destroyed except that of the above Louisa C. Pruit. It is certain that Valentine Green Pruit, his wife Mary McCau Pruit (dau. of David & Mary McCau), and Louisa McCau Sullivan (wife of L. P. Sullivan and dau. of David & Mary McCau) were buried here but their stones have been hauled to a nearby creek and laid as stepping stones for cattle to cross. I couldn't make out any inscriptions on the stones lying in the creek - they were too far gone for that.
