Mr. Nelse Jensen, Sr. was our guide to this cemetery located deep in the woods on what is known as the old Bondy Plantation. Mr. Nelse (Jensen) said that many years ago someone dug up the graves. He recalls one large stone, bearing the name of Ann Davis.We were unable to locate the top half of her stone showing her name and dates, but we did recover the part showing the following epitath:
"Her mind was active, discriminating and well cultivated; her heart benevolent and affectionate; her character was distinctly marked with those qualities which secured to her the respect of the world and endeared her to her relations while her beloved husband entertains a lasting sense of the loss which he has sustained; he reposes on the consoling hope that she has been translated to the enjoyment of everlasting happiness; the reward of an innocent and virtuous life. "The Journal of Wilkinson County History", Vol 1, compiled and edited by Mrs. James (Honey) Gross and Miss Marion Miles
