Some of the people were slaves, farm workers, and strangers who were passing through. One was an Englishman. This historical cemetery has been desecrated. only three tombstones are left. Part of the cemetery has been turned into a barnyard, and land is being tilled over the Garrett family plot of 100 feet by 80 feet, as well as other people who are buried there. At one time this cemetery was a peaceful place with boxwoods and fenced in for privacy. Other graves have been found near the James Garrett stage stand. One tombstone is all that is legible.
