Cemetery is large and well kept. Recording/transcription of this cemetery was begun in August, 1998 following CemTrek98 by Ralph and Paul Willing. The CemTrek99 Team continued the effort on August 8, 1999 until the heat forced us to postpone the remainder until some cooler time. The additional stone transcriptions were provided by Ralph Willing, Paul Willing, Jill Pevear, and Shari Handley. The cemetery is property of Rock Creek Methodist Church, and is well maintained.
