The Old Dent cemetery is located on the Wright Norris

Additional Comments:
The Old Dent cemetery is near the old Sunshine School where many of the Dents, 
Raleys, Burns and Smiths went to school.  It was a thickly settled community.  
Mr. John Dent owned the land where the cemetery is located and the original 
log house (their home) still stands there (1978).  He was grandfather to Mrs. 
Francis Smith Paul and Mr. and Mrs. E.Kirby Smith were Mrs. Paul's parents.  
This cemetery is on Maude Raley's property (1978).  Mr. John Dent started this 
cemetery.  He and his wife are buried there along with many relatives.
