Known to have been buried here.
Source: Mattie Will (Rich) Sutherland, a granddaughter of Joseph. According to Mattie, the wife of Joseph was to be buried in the cemetery beside her husband. However it was so muddy when she died that the undertaker refused to make the trip up the hill. As a result she had to be buried in Newport at Union Cemetery. Mattie was a teenager when the wife of Joseph died and she attended her funeral.
No stone for Joseph has been recorded in readings of the cemetery. However, it could have been buried long ago by the underbrush. When visiting the cemetery in 1967, granddaughter Mattie photographed an impression in the ground as the spot of his grave. Unfortunately that location within the grounds is now lost with the passing of time and the death of Mattie.
