*Amanda Wells Coleman wrote in 1930's during visit to Kepner cem., with her father, Randolph, that Randolph pointed to an area and said his mother (Sarah Hazelwood Wells}, and "Babe" were buried there. There is a marker for Sarah with spaces on either side for additional graves with no markers visible. There is a very heavy growth of iris or lillies over the area, making it impossible to dig around for buried stones without having heavy duty tools. The cemetery is in very bad condition.
