Ms. Call stated that William Washington Adams started this cemetery, Mr. Adams attended an ice cream social at his church, the ice cream was bad and several people fell ill.  Mr. Adams told his family that he know he was going to die, and upon his death that he wanted his body to be carried around the house 3 times and then buried under the oak tree in the back yard.  His family followed his wishes and he is buried under the oak tree.
