Turn right onto David Ln. and go south .75 miles to Joe David's driveway. Turn right into Joe David's driveway, past his house and barn and to his back fence, which is about .25 miles. There is a gate in his back fence. At this point, look to the left and you will see a very large cedar tree in an open pasture, about 200 feet south of the gate and about 50 feet west of the fence line. We found parts of two tombstones lying next to this tree. The previous landowner said that when he bought the property, the stones were sitting upright about 10 feet west of this tree. He was told by other old timers in the area that there was a baby buried here also, but no one is certain of that. There was information on only one of the tombstones. These tombstones and tree are located on an 84 acre tract that is owned by Senator Ranch. Surveyed by Herbert H. McCarver and Pete Parker on April 27, 2001. Pete recalled these tombstones from his childhood days. The one tombstone reads: Emily H. H. wife of S. S. Mills 11 Dec 1863-29 Aug 1906 This cemetery is on private property. Do not go there without permission.
