Submitted by: Vivian Brinker vivianb@coffeyville.edu ************************************************************************ This cemetery had been recently mowed, but the grass must have been very tall. It looks like someone has been busy clearing brush and trying to level off the ground. They have hauled in dirt and put in some places. There are some field stones that may mark graves and several are outlined with cement, but there is no identifying markers. There are a few stones that look like they might be crumbled markers scattered through the cemetery. There were also a couple of stones that I could not even feel the letters to try to help read the inscription. Stones were recorded between September 7th and 19th, 2000. It should be noted that there are many buried in this cemetery who's name will not be listed here. If you know of any additional burials in the Bezion Cemetery please send them to me at vivianb@direct-net.net and they will be posted to this site.
