I have found the following names listed as buried in the Sitton Cemetery, through either reference books or copies of obituaries. Eveland - James Eveland - Martha Ann Spears d. ca.1899 York - John Henry - d. April 25, 1900 York - Wade Hampton Wolfgram - Sarah Martha Peak Zumwalt - d. Jan. 23, 1916 aged 87 yrs. 9 mos. 12 days When I transcribed this cemetery about 5 years ago, it was in very poor condition. It was originally fenced off, but the fence was down and cattle had been in it. At least 1/2 the stones were broken off and it may be possible there were additional stones, but were covered by dirt and I didn't see them. Transcribed and submitted by Lori Oney-Tilley .
