Notice the trees have burned. In '04 the young man who owns the land where the cemetery is located meant well and cleaned the cemetery up. It was terribly grown up and some of the markers couldn't even be seen. Problem is, he sprayed the undergrowth to kill it and then set it on fire. Several of the stones were completely destroyed and a lot of them broke from the heat. There were about 25 or 30 small field stones that marked the graves of slaves. They are all gone. All the Bass's buried there are my maternal ancestors. From Ann Medlin Price.
