The cemetery is about 3/10 of a mile on the left overlooking Boone Lake. The cemetery was covered in old fashion double jonquils and vinca ivy in March 2001. There is a fence on two sides of the cemetery. Some of the tombstones have been damaged.

p.57 &endash; Anson L. Hodges was born April 10, 1811, and died October 23, 1844. He met a very untimely death. Leaving the house the morning of Oct. 23, 1844, accompanied by his faithful dog, he announced he was off on one of his favorite sports, a short coon hunt. It was known his intentions were to cross the Watauga and do his hunting on the high Boring cliff on the south bank of the river, the property of Dr. Issac Boring. His failure to return at the usual time caused the family some concern and after a reasonable waiting period it was finally decided to start a search. He and his little dog were soon found pinned beneath a tree, which he had cut himself, both dead. His wife, Harriet Gray was born March 4, 1812 and died Mar. 9, 1891. Harriet was a daughter of James Gray.
