DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard while neglected and frown up in honeysuckle and briers is 
interesting and historical.  The Kyles were prominent socially and politically 
in their day.  The last resting places shows the indelible marks of wealth and 
culture.  The boxwood trees in and around the graves are large and handsome; the 
majestic old oaks still stand and the large pines sigh and moan.  There are two 
graves covered with flat slabs of granite or marble, which is very dark with 
age, though the lettering is very plain and readable.

There are two graves marked with small upright stones.  Around one stone are two 
dogwood trees growing, one on each side of the stone.  These will in time crush 
the stone.  There are a number of unmarked graves.
