Survey Description:  This small family cemetery contains nine graves.  Six of the graves were marked with inscribed stone markers, two were marked with metal markers, and one grave was not marked.  All of the graves were oriented to the east.  Site was enclosed by an iron fence and is now surrounded by a small stand of pines.  Site is well maintained and no historic plantings were noted.  Western side of cemetery is within three feet of Back Creek Circle (Route 6010).  Site was field inspected, photographed, and headstone inscriptions were transcribed.  Site size was estimated by pacing the horizontal extent of the surrounding fence lines.

Additional Comments:  Assigned temporal period was based on the range of dates inscribed on the observed headstones. These dates range from 1911 through 1989. The presence of a single unmarked grave may indicate an earlier use of the site.  The cemetery is not marked on the USGS Garden City map sheet, but it is marked on local realty maps and labeled “Haislip Cemetery.” The following biographical information was transcribed from headstone observed in the cemetery during the 1998 survey.
