Old family cemetery. Matilda Bunts 1833-1859 wife of John M Bunts is buried there. There is an old marker for her that has fallen over. William Aker and his wife Mary Jackson Aker , George Aker and his wife Mary Jackson Aker are buried in this cemetery. The exact location of their graves is undetermined since most of the many graves are marked only with stones. I know from my parents and grandparents that the two Aker/Jackson couples are buried in this cemetery. A modern marker has been placed to notate the general location of their graves. Several other people can be recorded in this cemetery because of the records of George Lee Armbrister a local undertaker at the time. One of the Jackson descendants remembers a rather large cemetery in the woods. My father took me to this cemetery once when I was a child. It was wooded at that time. Most of the trees have fallen.
The twin sons of Flora Aker Jackson and her husband Wise Jackson are buried in a fenced area at the end of the cemetery. Their names are Hollroid 1912-1918 and Egbert 1916-1920 Jackson. There is a nice stone marker for them. Cynthia, their sister is buried next to them. Her marker was made of wood and has deteriorated. Their brother Rush Jackson tended their graves until his death.
