Another Cemetery on J.J. Finley Estate

This cemetery was located south of the J.J. Finley homeplace, near a Mr. Rives.
There were quite a few sinks in the ground indicating graves, but no markers. Part of the cemetery had been leveled and the markers removed. Mrs Walter Finley reported one grave that was marked but the markers are now gone. It was in a wire enclosure with iris planted nearby. The person buried there was great grandmother of people named Evans at New Salem who used to care for it. She thought the person buried there was named Buckner.
