Note: There were four rows in which I was able to count eleven unmarked graves or graves marked only with unlettered fieldstones. Nine of these graves were childrens' graves and two were adults. One of the adult's graves had the following scratched on a fieldstone:
May 1, '99
This is undoubtedly a death date and I was unable to determine who was buried there. Since the Madison County death records for that year are missing I was unable to correlate that date with a name.

LOCATION: Section 12-2-2E in approximately the SE NW, on Bice Mountain near the peak of a mountain referred to as "Cagle Point."
There are no lettered tombstones in this cemetery and I do not know who is buried here.
SIMS CEMETERY
