Approximately 16 to 18 graves, three are child size, the adult size could quite possibly be more Confederate Soldiers.


Child's headstone (has been repaired from being broken into several pieces)
Very hard to read but I did my best.

Name appears to be MA..... (the rest is unreadable due to repairs)
the next line- J * & M E (last name is unreadable due to repairs)
next line- Born 1874
next line- Died June (day is unreadable) 1878
There is an inscription across the bottom of the stone but the weather has made it unreadable
