On the left at the top of a long hill you will see some short red brick colums with chains in between them. This is the main entrance into the Taylor cemetery. You will have to park on the side of the road (South) and cross over to the other side (North). This is an old private cemetery that is owned and maintained by decendents of the Taylor Family. I was give permission to walk the cemetery by Mr. Lee West , whose mother was a Taylor.The cemetery is in good condition and information was taken from all legible temporary grave markers and headstone inscriptions. There are many unmarked graves in the cemetery. Mr. West told me there was a list at one time that identified the others buried here, but the list has vanished. The walk was done by Jimmy Trussell on the 8th of December 2007.
