DATE:

1862.

OWNERS:

Dodson and the descendants reserved the graveyard.

DESCRIPTION:

There are quite a number of graves with rock markers, but no names or dates.  
These, no doubt, are the graves of the earlier owners of this site.  However, 
several nice stones have been erected with names and dates.  The graveyard is 
located in an open field with no fence around it.  It is almost grown up with 
weeds, underbrush, and berry vines.  No care is taken of it.  There are no 
flowers or trees.
