This cemetery has many unmarked graves and several graves marked with stones that are unreadable. I am listing only the stones that I could read. I hope this helps someone who is researching their roots. I apologize if I have missed a stone or misspelled a name or date. Woodie Beavers Mullins - virginiagal@adelphia.net
