Robison (or Lawson) Cemetery
T24, R15, S32
North from Thornfield on 95 about 2 miles, cemetery is on left

Pleasant Lawson deeded one acre of land for this cemetery. Although  not
the first, his  mother,  Kavy  Lawson  from  Tennessee,  was  among  the
earliest buried there. This plot  was  abandoned,  however,  because  of
underground water that  would  often  rise  in  the  graves  before  the
interment could be completed, according to Mrs. Daisy  Turner,  daughter
of Mr. Lawson.

The small cemetery is beside highway  95  north  if  Thornfield  on  the
Findley Herd place.

Following are graves marked by fieldstones that have been identified:

LAWSON, Cavie, wife of Tommy and mother of Pleasant, no dates (Tommy buried in Tennessee) 
LAWSON, infant (unnamed) of Pleasant
LAWSON, Nucie, child of Pleasant
LAWSON, Newt, son of Pleasant
LAWSON, Melda, daughter of Pleasant
LAWSON, two unnamed infants of Joe Lawson
MURRILL, Tom and Laura (brother and sister), early 1800's
MURRILL, two unnamed infants of Brown Murrill (early 1900's)
