1847.  The oldest grave marker.

OWNERS:

Floyd Epps, the present owner. (1937)

DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard is about one mile back of the Epps house in a body of pine woods 
and while it has been neglected for years, it still shows the evidence of loving 
care in years gone by.  Here are several large holly trees, a very large “yew” 
tree, and a number of lilac trees.  The ground is covered with periwinkle.  
There are many graves, but only one marker, this an obelisk about eight feet 
high on which is a nice inscription.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

The Pittmans whose graves are here recorded are the material ancestors of Floyd 
Epps, on whose estate this burying ground is located.

The monument was erected to the memory of Susanna Pittman, by her sons, Thomas 
and Robert E. Pittman.

Following is the inscription:


In Memory of
Susanna, 
wife of Thomas Pittman
Born Feb’y 2, 1779
Died Decr. 8, 1847
She faithfully discharged the duties of wife, mother and neighbor,
lived beloved by all who knew her and died a Christian.
