This is a close-up of the grave stone of General Blancet Shacklett.  It is lying on the
ground in several pieces near that of his wife, Rachel's, stone.

This is Thomas J. Stith inspecting an old barn near the cemetery.  These two old barns are the only buildings left of a fairly
extensive settlement that used to stand in the area near the cemetery.
