Note: About 1920, after the cemetery had been neglected for many years, Messrs. D. E. Kelly, J. O. Kelly and G. L. Kelly, brothers (all deceased), undertook to reclaim and preserve the lot. They enclosed it with the present fence and as there were many graves with no stones they had a number of concrete markers made. They did the best they could to place these at the correct graves. The names were put on but they made no attempt to put dates on the markers and there may still be some unmarked graves.
In the early 1930's, when a grave was being dug for a member of the Phillips family, those digging the grave found they had dug into an unmarked grave. The Kelly family attempted to determine the identity of the person buried there but was unsuccessful, therefore, the site of this grave has no marker.
