Cemetery Records

All visible burials are noted. Three large native rocks are also present within the boundaries of the cemetery, however no identification exists. Family history suggests that one of these rocks marks the grave of J. H. Hinton’s wife Arena Grissom. Additionally, local history states that many years ago an unidentified man found dead in a Railroad Boxcar is also buried here.
