Original Source: A listing done June 20, 1975 by Charles Modlin & Peggy B. Rich. They say George Boothe is reported to have been buried her, but the grave could not be located. Most of the stones down & very overgrown.

A Listing done at another time by an unknown person & retyped by Marguerite Tise has E. L. Booth, b. 25 Feb 1832, d. 19 Jun 1834; & Thomas H. Simmons, b. 20 Jun 1811, d. 24 Dec 1873.

Ronald & Karen Agnew Bingham visited this cemetery in Nov 2007. “in very poor condition, overgrown brush, fallen trees, unkept for many years”. Evidence of other graves, fieldstones & illegible headstones.
