OWNERS:

DESCRIPTION:

This is a very old cemetery and is seldom used now for burials.  Shrubbery, 
trees and weeds have about taken the place and most of the graves have sunken 
from one to three feet in depth.  Very few of the graces at this time receive 
any care.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

This was to begin with a private graveyard.  The Baptist have a small cemetery 
located outside of the City limits.

No old tombstones or markers in this cemetery, but it is said that many of them 
are prior to 1850.
