Note: The information on the William Dickson Lanier stone was obtained by Mr. Bob Drake in November, 1969. When we visited it in September, 1970, we did not locate it, however, the cemetery was so overgrown that possibly we overlooked it.

Note: The day of death had been chipped away and the stone broken but legible except for that. The stone was broken through the year of death but it is fairly certain that it was "1888".
Maria A. Jones married Henry L. Ward on June 13, 1839 and, second, married Wiley T. Hawkins on October 7, 1857.
We counted five unmarked graves in this tiny cemetery.
