 Located on the Holder family farm, 5 miles west of Denison  The approach to the cemetery which is hidden in the trees Summer, 2001  2003
The
C. L. Holder stone was the only unbroken stone at that time, although
it
was not attached to a grave. Individual graves could not be identified
at that time, except for the enclosed grave of Mrs. E. H. Giddens. No
one
knows who she is or why she is buried there.
The property had passed out of the family and the wire fence surrounding it had been broken down enough over the years that cattle broke in to shelter under the trees, causing great damage to any stones that were there.  There were known graves that did not have stones, but the inventory (from which we constructed the list to be engraved on the back of Bledsoe Holder's new stone in the Georgetown Cemetery) was made in 1976 when there were still stones intact. Also knowledge of the other graves was conveyed by a couple of the older generation at that time. Just recently I have, in cooperative research with Ron Johnson whose wife descends from the Ridenour family, added more members of the Ridenour family to the list.
