Comments: There were reported to have been only three interments, of Surratt/Sarratt/Sharratt family members, in a fenced plot approximately 8 feet square. Tradition has it that Lucy Roberts, the wife of Reece Delp, had a misunderstanding with or somehow fell out with the church to which she belonged. She organized the Pleasant Springs Northern Methodist Church. No record of when nor how long this lasted. There remains a little cemetery of 3 graves, marked with field stones."
