Notes:

In 2016 access is on dirt road 300 block CR 121.

By John Christeson on Find-A-Grave: “Located S of the junction of CR 120 & CR 121 at the edge of a farm field & adjacent woods, NE of E Hwy 29. It is rather unique in that at some time a concrete foundation was poured & the iron rail fence added. No growth there, but trunks of trees 4-5 inches thick had grown around the fence rails & lots of dead limbs had fallen on the slab.”

In 2018, this cemetery is maintained by the “Cemetery Restoration Volunteers” as one of the abandoned cemeteries maintained on a rotation basis of 19 cemeteries in Williamson County.  The volunteers are under the direction of WCHC’s Cemetery Committee Chair, Joe Plunkett.  In 2019, there are 9 volunteers, using their own equipment.  Donations received by WCHC help to defray costs of restoring tombstones.
