Note:
These are the marked graves only. There are several
children of Dock and Mary Ann in unmarked graves
including Mattie Lou Hester Brown, Georgia Ann
Hester Shumpert Hester, and a "Little Baby".
The cemetery suffered extensive damage when a
drunk driver took out the fence with his vehicle
and plowed over many of the stones, breaking them.
A fund has been established to help replace the
fence, purchase stones for some of the unmarked
plots in which the buried's identity is known,
and to replace or repair some of the broken stones.
