Other_Information:

At one time, a survey of the cemetery was done, and there were four or five flagstones marking the graves of slaves that had belonged to the family. One of the children's tombstones was broken into many pieces. The family that owns it poured some concrete and carved the info from the tombstone into the concrete. Most of the stone are broken in half. Given 25 more years, I fear this cemetery will just be a pile of broken stone. The family mows in the cemetery about once a year, and I believe that is how one of the tombstone got broken. I have pictures of the tombstones if you are interested.
