Comments:  The cemetery is well fenced and maintained. By tradition the three oldest people, John Trimble, his wife Susan Trimble, and their daughter Rachel Foster, were originally buried in an old Bobbitt Cemetery. Their remains were moved to this cemetery and the old cemetery was destroyed.
The information for the unmarked graves is by family tradition. Thanks to Pat Bell and Betty J Cockerham for their contributions.
