Ralston Cemetery is located 1/8 mile North of Dogwood Rd. on County Lane 110.  It is in a pasture and has cows walking through it.  The stones however (those that were left) are still in reasonably good shape considering.  Brenda Langston and I visited the cemetery on 10 Dec. 2000.

We began working on the SouthWest corner and worked our way to the North
