I visited this cemetery in 1997 and it was in good condition and is located behind Mr. Dykes house back in the fields. He told me that there was another old cemetery back behind there and I will have to go back and document it. I don't believe it is listed anywhere in any books. He also said behind the second one, there is yet another even older one, but he doesn't remember if there were any tombstones. Hope this helps. Debra
