Surveyed by: Buford C. Wilson; completed 01 May 2003, updated 15 Dec 2006.

Comments: The cemetery is located on the old Calloway home place. Over the years it was neglected and there is not very much left to get any reference as to how it was originally laid out. It is now being mowed and maintained by Mr. Russell.I was able to find two stones and there may be others covered with dirt and grass. The stones have toppled over and are in poor condition. Apparently the anonymous researcher who contributed this information visited the cemetery several years ago and wrote down this information when the stones were in better condition. There is an undetermined number of unmarked graves.
