J.T. Turnbow was the grandson of Chesley Turnbow, on whose land this cemetery began in 1879. Unfortunately, there has been vandalism in the cemetery, and while there have been some restoration efforts, a few headstones remain broken or on their backs, including that of Saba Turnbow, J.T.'s grandmother. A photo of the intact headstone can be found at Findagrave, but Mr. Turnbow's photo medallion has gone missing. It was complemented by calla lilies, with the family name, "Turnbow", on the plinth. The inscription reads:

J.T. Turnbow

Jan. 9, 1872,
Oct. 25, 1919.

Was the inscription legible?: Yes
