It was surveyed by Lucy Cobb & Etta Hearron September 20, 1982. They note: there are 2 markers that could not be read. Surveyed May 20, 1999 by Herbert McCarter Notes from Herbert McCarter: I found a foot stone with the initials “I.H.” between the grave of Mollie and Mary Alice Holloman. There is an unmarked stone marker next to Sarah and W.H. Peters graves. There is a sandstone marker next to Alfred Gustavus grave. There is a stone beside a tree at the extreme east corner of the cemetery, near the Hollis graves with no name. I found the 2 markers that could not be read as reported in 1982.
