Birth Date
Death Date Inscriptions Fieldstones in the southwest end of the cemetery:
I counted 5 fieldstones in this area, however the ground is very uneven and has years of leaf, etc. buildup and there are probably more.
near the Anderson/Franklin Co. line (2.8 m north of the 151/512 intersection at Alton). It is overgrown,
and has evidently been the victim of vandalism with several stones either knocked over or obviously moved.
extended family and most probably several slaves. Only two stones inside the cemetery have dates
since 1900, however the four in the list dated 1949, 1960, 1980 and 1981
are outside the older (and overgrown) part of the cemetery closer to the road.

The angel of light came softly one night
And carried my husband away
All that was left to our loving sight
Was the darling casket of clay
We knew decay’s effacing finger
Would sweep the lines where beauty lingered
Silently and sadly we laid it away
To rest til the morn of Judgment Day
NB: This stone is laying on its side. The bottom possibly has the inscription of Permelia Lane Collins, his wife.
