Located 1/2 mile from Hwy 155 E in a pasture owned by the descendants of the C B and Ninnie Willieford family.

It is said a family camped by Glade Creek and two of their children became sick and died. They were the first to be buried.  (Tidwell's)

Jo Beavers had a cement slab made for the graves of his mother Melvirie Beavers Cox and her sister, Sarah Elizabeth
Beavers McDonald.

Vandals have now broken the slabs and large rocks mark other graves.  There is no way of knowing who else may be
buried there.
