DESCRIPTION:

There are eighteen graves all marked by upright stones, but only three of these 
are anything more than common field stones.

The three finished ones are on the highest ground at what appears to have been 
the head of the yard.  The yard is located in what was a large tract of timber, 
known as the Riley Tract, but a few years ago a forest fire burned across here, 
the heat chipped the stones and made it quite hard to read the inscriptions.  
There are stumps of trees growing or rather standing on some of the graves, 
these stumps are as much as fifteen inches in diameter.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

Following are the inscriptions:


ABm Reiley
Died Feb. 1806
Age 82


Sara H. Reiley
Died Dec. 16th, 1804
Age 56


Rhenton or Phenton Rieley
Died Sept 1806 or 1808


The letters are mixed as to capitals and smalls ones, such as RieLeY and SePt.

Mr. E. S. Snead of Troy tells me he remembers the ruins of the old house that 
stood on the brow of a hill, it was built of hewn logs he thinks it was only a 
one room and a loft building but says it might of had a small room in back.  It 
had fallen in about fifty years ago.
