Here you will take a left turn onto Ward/Pineview road. Stay on this road another 1.9 miles and on your right under some rather large trees you will see some white headstones. This is the Ward Family cemetery. I was given permission to walk this cemetery by Mr. Loren S. Ward. His family is buried there and he is the current landowner of this property. The cemetery was walked on May 3rd, 2007 by Jimmy Trussell and all information was taken from headstone inscriptions. While walking the cemetery I noticed a small chainlink fenced in area directly behind this cemetery. It was hidden from view by heavy underbrush and several downed trees. I was able to get in a position to read the headstones in this fenced in area and will list them at the bottom of the Ward cemetery and note them as being in the fenced in area.
