From Wilda Patterson: 

This cemetery is located West of intersection 438 and Lick Creek Road. Highway 438 goes through the cemetery, separating the lower small section from the larger section on a hill on the North side of the road. In March 2006 we visited this cemetery and found two marked graves on the hill side. They were Susan Allice Young and Elvis Dealie Warren. There were approximately 25 to 30 graves marked with fieldstones, and too numerous to count unmarked graves, possibly as many as 50 or more. This cemetery section on the hill is about 200 to 300 feet wide, and about 100 feet deep. In a phone conversation with Helen Craig Smith, she related that her father had attended the funeral of Mr. Rob Kirk in the late l940's. He was buried on the North side of the road on the hill.

The section located on the lower side of the road is a small area with box grave believed to be William Young, a Rev. War Soldier. The box grave has been partially torn down. There are possibly two or more unmarked graves in this section.

In Perry Co. Cemetery Book Vol. I in 1992, Mary Bowen reported no marked graves. In 1997 in the Perry Co. Quarterly a correction stated there were three marked graves on the hill: Susan Allice Young, Elvie Dealie Warren, and Gladis O. Waldrip.

In February 2009 we found the same two graves found in 2006, and made photos. We did not locate the Waldrip grave in 2006 or 2009.
