Notes:  This is an old cemetery located in Lake Helen, Fla. that is 
abandoned and not in use anymore, It is surrounded by homes and a fernery 
without an access road. Dorathy Schneider a local historian for Lake Helen 
said the name was Prevatt Settlement and there was a Prevatt Church located
near the cemetery that burned in the 1800's.  There were many funeral
home markers that have been stolen and only 4 headstones left for the
many that were buried there, Of the 4 headstones that still exist 3
are my ancestors that were buried there in the 1800's and I suspect
I have more relatives there. I have submitted this cemetery to the
State of Florida task force for Abandoned and neglected cemeteries
for them to take over and maintain.

"Shall we meet beyond the river 
Yes when our stormy voyage is O'er 
And We'll spend the blest forever 
On that bright celestial shore."
