This land was first owned by the Melton family, who settled here over a hundred 
years ago.  It remained in the possession of this family until sometime in the 
1870’s.  The Kiblingers were next owners, and it remained in the possession for 
a number of years.

The graveyard is near the old home site, and is completely covered with 
periwinkle, and surrounded by tall pines.
