According to information received from Roy Wishon, the cemetery was established on the corners of 4-forty acre tracts formerly owned by Mrs. Susan Reynolds, Mr. & Mrs. H.A.Kilgore, Ellis Kilgore and Mr. Dickson. The plot includes a school house, (now a church). The cemetery contains 141 marked and approx. 101 unmarked graves. The first burial was in 1867, These remarks were made by Mrs. Oma Engel in 1968. Brought up to date by Julee McElhaney In 1986. The names marked F.S. are marked with field stone and the names were given to me by relatives and friends and the names without dates were also given to me without any other information.
