DATE:

Unknown

OWNERS:

Dr. David Jiggits and Mrs. Susan Jiggits.
Dr. Tom Palmer, present owner. (1936)

DESCRIPTION:

The old house has burned down and there only remains some brick and a sunken 
place where the basement was.  This was a house of the early eighteen hundreds.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

In the old Jiggit cemetery stands a marble vault about thirty inches high.  The 
two sides and ends are of beautiful white marble with a granite slab for the top 
bearing the following inscription:

Sacred to the memory of
Mrs. Susanna R. Baskerville
Wife of William Baskerville
of Buna Vista
And daughter of 
Dr. David and Mrs. Susan Jiggits of Fall Grove
Born January 26, 1823
and died February 17, 1857
Leaving eight children

This cemetery has a nice iron fence around it and some ten or twelve large 
boxwood.  Many of the graves have no markers.  One grave just beside the vault 
described has a granite slab over its entire length but bears no inscription or 
else age has worn it entirely away.
