Old Antioch Graveyard

Webmaster note: I am not sure if the photos below belong to this cemetery. These photos were listed as Old Antioch Graveyard.

This cemetery is enclosed in a small fenced area that is broken in several pieces.  Notice the dead pine on the left that will fall soon.  Part of this cemetery is suppose to have been destroyed by a former landowner.

I (Rose Diamond) was assisted on the venture by Yancy Dean Smith and her daughter, Sandy Mooneyham (at left). We could have gone back to town and got a key to the gate, which was suppose to be unlocked, but decided to "do it the hard way".
