The cemetery is not in very good shape. It is overgrown with weeds and trees and one tree has fell across some of the markers in the cemetery. It was very hard to find, even with instructions on how to get to it from a Stokes family member. The cemetery has a fence encircling it and at one time was probably state of the art for the time. The cemetery is approximately 50 ft. by 60 ft. which is fairly good sized. The GPS coordinates for the cemetery are 32 degrees 45.50 N, 083 degrees 42.69 W, 278 ft. above sea level. There are not many grave markers in the cemetery and only one that has a name engraved. With the size of the cemetery, I would say there are many unmarked graves within its area.
