The memorial was obviously created as a headstone, but it serves to note the nearby presence of a lost cemetery. It says:
Site
Of Pioneer Grave Yard
James McCoy --- 1872
J. Henry Haynes -- 1872
John Haynes ---- 1873
Perhaps Others
Erected by Fannin County 1971
Fannin County (see Cemetery Website) notes that the graves of many Haynes, Keenes, and Hawkins family members are here, but most of them were apparently unmarked by the time the cemetery disappeared. It is unknown whether area roadwork caused the loss, but the memorial stands, listing at least three of the known burials. Regular road maintenance along the shoulder keeps the grass down.
