Description
Is grown up with weeds and trees that have
fallen down over the years. Has under growth of every thing. In very
bad shape but I did find my gggrandfathers marker.
Other Problems
It is in Holly Springs Natl. Forest. In Feb.
1968 Grover & Bun Coffey planted pine trees with a sign saying
they were not to be cut for 100 yrs. without approval of appointed
trustees.
Previous Contacts
No one wants to claim that they are the ones to
keep it up. I tried to talk with the Forest people but couldn't find
anyone who knew anything about it.
Current Status
Was there two years ago and was the same as it
was when I first found it several years ago.
