It is necessary to walk about a mile in the woods to reach this cemetery.  In 
the surrounding woods are many large trees, many of which have fallen.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

There are only two stones that have legible inscriptions:


Martha Luckett
departed this life September 27th, 1800
aged 45 years
Why should we mourn departed friends
Or shake at death’s alarms
It is voice that Jesus sends
To call them to His arms.


John  B. Luckett
departed this life March 19th, 1794
aged 47 years
Lamented parent, now adieu,
No tears can bring you home
Your loved who mourn for you
Now sorrows o’er thy tomb.
