Additional Comments:
Story is told that in the 1950's a body was found un-buried, with no casket, was 
found in this cemetery. Evidently the casket had not been paid for and the funeral 
company repossessed it. The county sheriff was involved and eventually a casket 
was provided and the body re-buried.
