	This cemetery is located in a triangle where Midway Rd meets 
Covington Highway across from Midway Manor Apts.  It is overgrown and the 
graves are not easily visible from the road and in fact when I first 
transcribed this cemetery it was in the summer when the kudzu was in full 
bloom and I missed several graves. Having gone back in January it was 
much easier to see what few graves there are.

	There are seven field stones that are unmarked. Franklin Garrett gives 
the names in his 1931 transcription.  In 1931 there were only two marked 
graves and in 2001 there is only one.  The remaining grave is that of 
Parthenia Jones. The stone can barely be read but Mr Garrett shows the 
stone as saying:

In Memory of
PARTHENIA A. JONES
Wife of Z.H. Jones
Born Jan. 20th 1824
Died Dec. 31st 1885
__________
Safe in the arms of Jesus
Sleep loving wife sleep while they
Husband o’er thee weep.
