Good News!  This cemetery has now been adopted by the Sons of the Confederate Veterans, Private Thomas E. Caldwells 2nd Brigade Camp Number 0031.  These wonderful volunteers have cleaned up this cemetery and even replaced the tombstone for Benjamin F. Fewell.  I have take photos of what they have been able to do.

BEAMGUARD, Godfrey Died August the 31, 1839. "In memory of Godfrey Beamguard, who departed this life August the 31, 1839. Adieu all both far and near, my loving wife and children, For my immortal soul has fled, I now lie numbered with the dead.
