This is a very old cemetery which originally covered approximately 2 acres. In later years, cattle have been turned loose to roam at will through the cemetery which has caused severe and irreparable damage to the remaining markers.
This is the saddest example I have ever seen of what happens when access is not deeded to a cemetery. Without deeded access the owners of the property surrounding a cemetery are completely in control of the burial grounds and their survival or demise.
This property was deeded as a cemetery by Mrs. Mittie "Matt" Allison Reno. At the time no access was included in the deed because no person of civility would ever have imagined that anyone could be so cruel as to deny surviving family members access to the final resting place of their beloved deceased. Sadly, times and people have changed.
There are many graves marked only by fieldstones or uninscribed slabs and many for which all markers have completely disappeared.
The markers which remain have been knocked over and broken. The fences which originally enclosed family plots have been torn down by the cattle and the markers trampled.
There is no public access to this cemetery. We gained access by crossing a fence from a neighboring farm. Anyone who attempts to do this should be very wary of dogs, bulls, electric fences, and irate people.
This cemetery is located on Jonathan's Creek, on the right, approximately 1 mile below the Utah Mountain turnoff. It is not visible from the road. It is inside a pasture owned by the Boyd family.
I am including the survey we did in 2001 along with a survey published by Phyllis C. Whitman in "A Lot of Bunkum" in 1982. The deterioration during the 19 years between the two surveys shows how quickly this cemetery is becoming lost forever.
The cemetery contains the grave of David Howell. His grave and the graves of his wives are still identifiable.
In 1982 there were 16 graves with readable markers.
In March of 2001, there were 13 graves with markers with some degree of legibility.
At best estimate, this cemetery contains at least 200+ graves.
