Comments:

This cemetery is on private property of the home owner nearby and one needs to get permission to enter the cemetery.  The center portion of the house is the original home, built by a Matt Allen (prob. William M. Allen).  The driveway was once a road and goes further back on the property to some Indian graves, according to Fannie Mae Davis. - S. Whittington, 04/13/2007.

An email from Sandy Whittington, dated April 2007, states: "There are three box tombs and three vaults big enough for at least two graves each.  There are 30 graves or more in there, horribly overgrown..."  However, the cemetery has been kept clean by the owner for several years now.
