Add PhotosSite consists of an extended family cemetery with an undetermined number of interments. Observed graves include three marked with incised headstones, three with metal markers, one unmarked ground surface depression, and one marked with an uninscribed fieldstone marker. Local informants indicated that additional graves were present. Site is now covered with a young deciduous-pine forest. At the time of survey, visibility of the site surface was very poor due to vegetation and timber damage from a severe ice storm the previous winter. . It is likely that other interments are present given the site size, the poor visibility of the site at the time of survey, and the informant reports. Site was once surrounded by a wooded post and wire mesh fence; however, the fence has fallen and only portions of this deteriorated fence were visible at the time of survey. Historic plantings were not observed on the site. Site was field inspected and biographical information on grave markers was transcribed. Site size was derived from local real estate maps.
Assigned temporal period was based on death dates marked on observed grave markers. These dates range from 1924 through 1962. However, the presence of unmarked graves, graves marked with uninscribed fieldstones, illegible metal markers, and informant reports may reflect an earlier or later use of the cemetery. Local informants reported the following individuals were also buried in the cemetery: Flora Muse, Carl Muse, Ves Muse, Joe Muse, Earnest Helms, Joe Gregory, and Agnes Gregory. Site is not marked on the USGS Bent Mountain map sheet, but is marked on local real estate maps.
