Notes were added by Diane Payne from information found in the book Sumner Co. TN Cemetery Records by Snider & Yorgason.
Note from Lynn:
I counted 31 stones or bases for stones; some of the smaller stones may have been footstones,
but we were unable to tell. Most of the stones are just barely decipherable. Most of the stones
are pitted and there are a few broken and there are a few that are just the base and no headstone
on top. There are two very old rusty metal fences with fancy work on the top of each rod of the
fences all the way around. The first fenced in area had the flat headstone:
"RUCKER" which I will give the info below and the other fenced in area, right next to the
first one had unreadable headstones and one tall headstone that had the entire family "YOUNG"
written on it, using up three sides of the. That stone looked like a tall church-type steeple.
