In past years, Wilcox was neglected, overgrown with brush, bramble, etc. When the tornado of June 1993 went through, more damage was done to the cemetery. Interested people came to the rescue and it has been taken care of since that time, although many stones are broken and probably many missing. Thanks to a descendant of the Murphy family monies have been donated for the mowing of the cemetery with the American Legion as overseer.
Burials were primarily from 1856 through 1871 with the last known burial in 1895.
