of graves laid out in rows.  Mr. Albritton said that there are over 200 people buried 

in this cemetery.  The cemetery was on a wagon road leading from Big Creek to 

the New Zion Community and numerous deep gulleys must be crossed before

 reaching the main part of the cemetery.  It has been said that is was called the 

old slave's field.
