Not knowing the history of this cemetery, it is puzzling to me as to why it is named Dawson because there is not a single marker with Dawson on it. Same with the names Boyd and Lawson. There are two Geyer names and one Snow name. I assume a Dawson owned the land at one time. I took photos of every stone and the 10 marked by other means. I feel certain there are many totally unmarked graves also.
