Inscription

This addition was made by Nell Newman on April 17, 2014:

"This grave is on the Michael Woliver Property. You reach the cemetery which is called the "the slave field cemetery" by traveling from Jonesville 4 miles east on Highway 58. Turn left on Lilac Lane and drive past all houses until you come to a gate. This is approx. .4 of a mile. Pass through the gate into the pasture field and the cemt. is not fenced and is under the largest tree that you will see. Cattle have trampled the cemt. for many years. "
