right-most photo submitted by John Cauley This inventory was done by Marion Garrett Gibbs in 1981, some names and dates are not recorded as they appear on the tombstones. Complete names and maiden names were added by Marion Garrett Gibbs.
Updated in August 2005 and submitted by Carol Couch and Shawn Hughes in June 2007. I'm told this is still not a complete listing. Some tombstones were totally covered up with vines. If you know of anyone buried here and they are not on the list, please send me the info and I will get those added.
