Cemetery Survey by: Ethel Brann Tillman
Survey Date: April 17, 2004
Since
there are some very old unmarked graves at this location, this cemetery may have been
known in the past by another name that was not found by the research of the surveyor,
however, I have chosen to call it the Blace Yarbrough Cemetery due to the fact that he is
buried here and he owned this property for many years.
These
Yarbrough’s are the same family as the spelling Yarboro and Yarborough.
Tips on reading the inscription listings:
- Comments or added information is in parentheses ( ). Information not in parentheses is
from a stone.
- A slash ( / ) usually designates a new line on the stone.
Graves:
There are approximately (15) grave sites that are marked by field stone and indications
of other graves are apparent by sunken areas.
