ABANDONED CEMETERY  About 3 miles west of Burnsville, turn right onto Cane 
River School Road.  Go about .4 miles.  On right side of road on a ridge just 
behind the Bill Shepherd house.  No headstones are visible (although, I can 
remember when there were stones there) there are field stones that marks 	
some of the graves.  Bill Shepherd told his daughter that he would rather have 	
cattle graze on his grave than to have it grown up in briars, so he turned it 
into a 	cow pasture.  I was told by Martha Lou Gibbs that her grandmother was 
buried here: (# 1)

 1. Martha Edney Austin,  1843  - 1876, 1st wife of Cling Austin (Grave # 1, 
Clingman Austin Cem.) (She was the mother of Jobe, James, Lillie & Esther)

 3. Samuel E. Anglin, 10-07-1855 - 02-23-1863

 4.Elizabeth Jane "Betsy" Anglin, 12-05-1857
