I was still curious to see who else I could find there so this summer I went to visit the cemetery and upon my arrival I noticed that the cemetery hadn't been taken care of in decades and would need a big makeover to restore it to it's former beauty. As I walked through the woods, I was not able to find the names of some family members that I had on hand, but the reason for this was that most of the graves were unmarked and sunk in. Of the headstones I did find that were readable, I took note of the surnames which include Liddell, McDonald, Clay, Stewart, Lovorn, Slawson Sanders, Foster, Woodruff, Billingsly, Nunn, Triplett, Burrage, Hughes and Hollingsworth. This spring or summer I plan on starting a cleanup of the cemetery and I wanted to include the descendents of the people who are laid to rest th! ere. If you are interested in taking part just give me a reply and I also will be giving updates on the cleanup process. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
