surveyed by Mrs. R. C. Upton, February 16,1955 under the name of "Bennett 
Cemetery".  It was later surveyed by Walter W. Wellington in 1994 and it was 
not until the records were correlated until it was found that two surveys had 
been made.  Due the earlier date of Mrs. Upton's there were more stones copied, 
these were incorporated in the inventory.
