Here within a small cleared spot are several tombstones, hemmed in by a concrete wall about two feet in height. The epitaphs found on these markers are found below. The Walke graveyard, which is now a part of a cow pasture, is distant only by a few feet from the old Walke house, erected according to the date on one of the bricks in the chimney in 1815.
