Margaret A. Barnhart. The Randolph County Web page has information
about the author. Also the L.D.S. church's family history has a copy
of the book US and Canada area #976.724V32B The Pocahontas Star Herald
had a write up entitled A History of Wilson Cemetery, Thursday, Oct.
and I do have a copy of it. It does list some of the people buried in
the cemetery. Plus a history of the cemetery.
Cemetery description
James C. Wilson and his wife Jane owned the property where the
graves was located. Jane was buried in the cemetery in 1862. The

The last burial that I know of was in 1952.
