Many graves are marked with large limestone rocks or bricks, which do not have any inscriptions on them. There are several sunken areas indicating a burial, and these also do not have any kind of identification as to who is buried there or when the burial took place. There are over 170 marked graves with stones, funeral home markers, or wooden crosses.
The oldest marked grave is that of Mary Kirby, in 1895; followed by Hattie Washington and Annie Hamilton in 1899. There were probably some burials between these dates, but the graves are not marked.
