DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard is located about one-fourth mile back of the home on top of a 
hill.  It is enclosed by a stone wall and over-run with bushes, etc.  The oldest 
marked stone is 1857, but there are quite a few graves with no tombstones, just 
rock markers, and these are probably much older.  The following inscription was 
copied from a marker:


Jane F. Browning
Wife of James A. Browning
Born July 3, 1825
Died Jan. 9, 1857
Age 31 yrs., 6 mos. & 6 days
The Lord gave and thee
Lord taketh away; Blessed
Be thee name of thee Lord.
