The 1965 record gives no names for surveying this Cemetery.
It was surveyed by Lucy Cobb & Etta Hearron September 20, 1982.
They note:  there are 2 markers that could not be read.
Surveyed May 20, 1999 by Herbert McCarter

Notes from Herbert McCarter:
I found a foot stone with the initials “I.H.” between the grave of Mollie and Mary Alice Holloman.
There is an unmarked stone marker next to Sarah and W.H. Peters graves.
There is a sandstone marker next to Alfred Gustavus grave.
There is a stone beside a tree at the extreme east corner of the cemetery, near the Hollis graves with no name.
I found the 2 markers that could not be read as reported in 1982.
