DATE:

Prior to 1836.

OWNERS:

It is now owned by Ace Lawson. (1936)

DESCRIPTION:

This is a rather large graveyard and has quite a few trees in it.  It is not 
enclosed and cattle are free to run over it.  At one time it was public, but it 
is privately owned now.  It is in an unkept condition.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

This graveyard was opened more than a century ago by John Brubaker.  He however 
is not buried here.  For many years it was used for white people only, but for 
some reason it was turned over the the colored folks and they still use it.

I found only one stone dating prior to 1860.  This was a homemade one.  I feel 
sure other stones might by found here dating prior to 1860, if it were cleared 
off so one could get through.
