This cemetery was begain in the early 1800 by Francis Marion Reagan

family.  The first person buried there was a drifter taken in by Mr.

Reagan

and his wife Eliza Heath Reagan.  There are nearly 100 people buried in

this cemetery which is now pasture.  There are no tombstones, but lots

of

sunken places on a mound beneath a cluster of trees.



The last person known to be buried there was Frank Jackson Reagan's

son, victor Reynolds Reagan, who was accidentally shot and killed on a

hunting trip when he was about 17 years of age.
