The present owner is J.E. Mays. (1936)

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

The Mays graveyard is very old.  There are no inscriptions on the older graves.  
Rodhen T. Mays was buried here about 1830, but there is no inscription to his 
grave.  This is also where James H. Mays was buried.  He was shot and fatally 
wounded in 1862 during the time he was serving in the Confederate Army.  The old 
Mays place, which has not changed since the early days of Rhoden T. Mays, is 
still in the Mays possession.
