DESCRIPTION:

In what was the orchard near the old house, now a body of pine woods, is a 
graveyard.  It is a shady neglected spot, but lovely with periwinkle and 
honeysuckle.  There are eight or ten graves each marked with a flat rock.  Only 
one grave has a tombstone, this is a tall white slab, though moss has grown over 
it, and it is weathered.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

It is known that the Pankey family lived here before the War Between the States, 
and for some time afterwards.  Mary, the wife of John Day, was a Miss Pankey.

The tombstone inscription reads:


In Memory of
Mary
Wife of John Day
Born Oct. 18, 1813
Died Oct. 21, 1860
There remaineth a rest for the  people of God
