Photos were taken by Charlotte Ramsey of all the stones found.
The property was owned by Reynolds Mining, is now owned by ALCOA, and there is a locked gate.
The cemetery is over a mile down the road from the gate.
In the last 27 years many stones have disappeared. Coincidently, the last marked interment 
was Jewell B. Williams who died on May 6, 1975.

Bauxite, go past Reynolds Mining Office (about 2 miles) - take first black top road to left -

It is past the older cemetery (Abercrombie/Carpenter), which is on the left.
