The Joe Stallard Graveyard is near the head of the Middle Fork of Bold Camp, on a low hill about four hundred yards north of the Middle Fork Road. It is fenced with woven wire, but was in bad condition when I was there at ten o'clock, Thursday morning, September 10, 1936. Charlie Dotson was with me, and my notes are from the information he gave me. We found several very old, unmarked graves there. Charlie said that he believed they were the graves of some of the old Stallards.
