NOTES: There are as many unmarked graves in this cemetery as have markers. Many of the markers have been recently added with scanty information. The cemetery is small and surrounded by forest. William Albert Tidwell is my Grandfather. Alcy 'Sis' Gould is his mother, rumored to be Cherokee. If this is proven correct by my research, I shall update this information. William Albert's wife, Nancy Ann Morris is buried at Antioch Cemetery, atop the Arkadelphia Mountain at Bug Tussle Al.

That was all the information that he would give.
