When I first saw the cemetery in November 2004, it was very overgrown, but on January 4, 2006, it had been cleaned up due to a recent burial. I hope it stays that way, and God bless the folks that did such a beautiful job! The cemetery has 4 family plots: the Wade's, Atkinson's, Owens (only one marked interment) and Dodson's. Other burial sites are outside these plot areas. Because of the size of the land, I wonder if there aren't more folks buried there with missing headstones. I did locate one headstone quite aways from the main plot areas, and another in a thorny patch by the fence. If you have relatives buried there, and they aren't on this list, please let me know. Thanks!
