The land for the Indian section was given by Joe and Serena Coley. Joe Coley, a Negro, homesteaded his land and built his home about 400 feet from the present cemetery. He and his wife are buried in the right hand corner of the land they donated. The graves, along with several others, were originally marked with red sandstone rocks and a piece of tin with the names impressed with nail holes identified the sites. The identification marker has disappeared but there remains common knowledge and agreement that the graves will always be protected beneath the spreading branches of a large live oak tree. Both Joe Coley and his wife have been dead for more than 85 years.
