The cemetery is now known as the Haynes Cemetery #1.

According to Haynes researcher, Mary Russelberg Haynes, John Barton Haynes requested that he be buried under a concrete slab because he was afraid that bears might try to dig him up. The story told her by his great, great, great grandson was that John was on his way to the grist mill with a sack of corn when a bear treed him and wouldn't leave until a neighbor later discovered them and scared the bear away.
