Notes
Interesting family cemetery involving Stiff, Loyd, Dearing, Bolling and several united through Huddleston’s. 34 burials noted but obviously are a number more likely here including wives and children. There are no actual tomb rocks, which is quite odd for a cemetery of this age. Research in passing did not yield info in regards to whether internments had been moved here, something that could explain the absence of tomb markers…or if maintenance became easier pulling out all the head and foot stones…more research needed here.
