It appears to have been forgotten and I only know of two folks who knew it was there. My cousin, Yvonna Collins, told me about it, and told me to ask my grandfather, Forest Tingler, about it. He had been told by my great grandmother (Minnie Richards Cunningham) that it was there, and he went in search of it about five years ago.
There are seven field markers, four in the first row, and three in the back row. Supposedly, Thomas Henderson Richards and his wife Rachel (Norman) Richards are buried there, along with their son, Grant Richards. No one that I have talked to has been able to identify which graves are which.
The original owner of the land, as far as I know, was a Frank Richards. I don't know which Frank, but he is possibly buried in the back row. There is one Wilson buried here and the tombstone says very clearly. "Ollie Wilson died Aug", but is is hard to make out the rest of the date. Possibly 1904? There is also a BW next to Ollie; also a Wilson?
Front row, L-R:
1. Unmarked (possibly Rachel?)
2. H R R (possibly Henderson?)
3. MLRR?
4. Unmarked (possibly Grant?)
Back Row, L-R:
1. Ollie Wilson died Aug (possibly 1904?)
2. B W
3. FRANI
