DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard is located on a hill top, in a field, without a fence or wall to 
protect it.  There are no inscriptions on the markers which are of native 
limestone rock.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

It is not known definitely that Joe Bailey is buried here, but old man Bob 
Bailey and his family are buried here, and long ago Hiram Bailey was buried 
here.  This part of the country was then too thickly settled with Baileys, and 
most of them raised very large families and were industrious, prosperous people.
