Transcribed and submitted by Hugh T. Singleton Nov 2002 Additionally, this cemetery includes my own family's plot and those of a number of relatives and friends. It probably should be noted also that as late as the early 1950's, the cemetery's northwest boundary contained a number of graves which were marked only by a large rock as headstone with a small rock as footstone. My best recollection is that there were at least a dozen of those graves; no trace of which exist today. Cemetery Census from The History of Clay County, published 1976 Mt.
