Johns-Parton Enclosed in an iron fence. There is one unique headstone outside the fence, it is two large field stones, one set on end upon the other to resemble an expensive stone. There was no evidence of a name on this stone. This appears to have once been a nice cemetery. The graves need to be filled in, so it is very dangerous, and trees and briars have taken over. Neilson Cemetery is sadly in need of some loving attention. There are many lost graves here. CAIN, Ada Eliza Neilson wife of J. L. Cain May 4, 1842-October 24, 1893 Ida A.
