Thanks to Jason Shook and his mother, Jonell Ramey, for telling me about this cemetery. Jason hopes that family of the people buried here will see these pictures, and come clean, and restore this cemetery. It hurts all of us when we see forgotten cemeteries like this. By taking photographs and getting them on this web site, they are not forgotten.
This small cemetery is located about 1/8 mile south of Cave Springs School on your right in the woods just off the road.
This is an old cemetery. It is overgrown with large trees. The two unknown tombs have a large oak tree growing in the middle. Judging from the size of the tree, they would have been among the first people buried here.
There are about two dozen graves there with only ten headstones left, most headstones are marked with a footstone. There are a lot of field rock to mark other graves.
There was a survey completed in 1997, they list the same stones as I have here.
