There is a big walled in plot that is inaccessable most of the year.(vines & weeds) It has a stone that reads Smythe family resting here. There are stones here that may be readable if applied with shaving cream, but I could not guarantee it. I know some of the standing stones are Rankin members. There seems to be a family laid out at the end, with a few stones, but no written words adorn the stones. This cemetery is pretty big & I believe that there are quite a few others that are not accounted for here, interred there. Desoto Joe/The Record Man
