There are no tombstones, but Mrs. Harvey Carter says that her grandfather, 
Benjamin T. Baxter, who was born June 5, 1830 and died June 13, 1880, and her 
grandmother Mary L. Baxter, who was born December 28, 1834 and died January 1, 
1869, are buried here.

It is said that a Wicks family and Alley family owned the property many years 
ago and that members of their families are buried here, but the dates it was 
owned by them cannot be learned and the records were destroyed during the War 
Between the States.
