Then J. B. Tolson bought the land and he and his children gave two acres to the cemetery for a public burial place for the community in 1906. James Thomas Crawford was put to rest there in 1894, hut it is believed that some of his family was buried there before that, no stones. Mr. Tolson had a baby burial there in 1898. It was all cleared up in 1930 and a gravel road made into it. Now there are 82 stones and 16 unmarked graves in sight. Association meets 1st Thursday in October of each year. ================================================================================================================== Transcribed and Walkthroughs completed: by Marilyn Connell on Wednesday, March 02, 2005.
