I went by the old cemetery on Sunday, 20 JUN 1999.  I first saw it 4 years  
ago.  Not much had change except the 3 big tombstones had been pushed over.   
They may have been like that 4 years ago, but I was thinking they were still  
standing.  There is evidence that many more old graves are there, but are  
marked with field stones.  The 3 tombstones pushed over were all about 4  
feet high and readable. 

 
1. An 8 inch square tombstone: 
 
Sarah Jane SPOON, died 21 DEC 1903, Age 65 years 

 
2. About 6 inches thick X 18 inches wide tombstone: 
 
Mary E. PAYNE, born 1 DEC 1842, died 3 MAR 1920 

 
3. About 6 inches thick and 36 inches wide: (husband & wife) 
 
Issac W. PAYNE, born 10 OCT 1814, died 15 MAR 1866, Jane C.(or G.) Payne born 10 
JAN 1818  died 25 JAN 1904 

 
4. Formed cement rounded tombstone bordered with field rocks: 
 
John W. SATTERFIELD, born 8 MAY 1838, died  15 OCT 1839, 1 year, 5 m and 5 days 

 
There is another thin, large, broken tombstone laying on the ground with a  
death date, but no name. Another portion reads Nancy Ann Payne.  It reads,  
"13 Mar …  yrs. 5 months, 14 days".  There are probably other tombstones  
under the leaves.
