Also outside the Slaughter Cemetery fence to the East is another cemetery that contains about thirty graves marked by 3 inch by 3 inch concrete markers sticking up about 6 inches out of the ground. Two graves were marked with inscriptions on headstones as follows; 1. Bismark Laska Pearson .... 1883 - 1946 2. Rush Pearson ... Alabama, Pvt., 160 Depot Brig World War I ... June 7, 1891 - Nov. 2, 1948 This cemetery measures about 16’ by 50’ and has it’s own fence on three sides. No gate is visible. It has all the markings of an abandoned cemetery. It appears to be on Auburn University Property and is posted. The only visible access to it is across posted property or over the fence which might put a person on posted property IF it is indeed on posted property.
