Craigmiles III, Joe E. (1990). There is evidence of other graves, broken concrete post, stones, etc. Overall conditon of cemetery is pretty good. It appears some of the damage was caused by vandalism and some by neglect. It also appears some graves were moved back when the highway was 5 laned. There is an Archway and Gated entrance to the fenced cemetery area. ***************************************************** ****** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
