GIBSON CEMETERY, GEORGE GIBSON'S FARM on Fairground Road.
Also known as GAY-GIBSON CEMETERY


<Additional notes from Barbara Gramp, November 2002: I visited this cemetery in July
and discovered there were errors in this and the MT. PLEASANT CEMETERY survey. I 
have added notes to both of these surveys in an effort to address the corrections
and to clarify additional information.  

The cemetery is located on Fairground Road.  To the right are a couple of small out
buildings. Just a short distance after these buildings on the left is a concrete cistern.
The cemetery is located on the left directly across from the small buildings. It has a
chain link gate with a sign "Gay-Gibson Cemetery" and is surrounded by wire fencing.
A little further down the road by the bend is a farm on the left. 

There were lots of field stone markers and others that are no longer legible.>
