David and I were out for a drive today and decided to try to follow the directions I received from someone this past week regarding this cemetery and we found it!! We pulled into this field went back quite a ways then decided the van wasn't going to make it much further in that field stopped and David got out and looked around and we didn't see it at first and then somehow David seen a headstone through some weeds and I was like yep that is it!! So we backed out a ways then got out and visited the site. James would be my 2nd great grandfather and to visit his grave was sort of surreal for me especially knowing my family has been searching for years to find it and have not been able to locate it. I can't tell you how excited I am to get to go back down with my mom soon to visit this site again. Unfortunately this grave yard isn't maintained anymore & I am assuming it is due to the ones who were doing it not being able to keep it up anymore but I am not sure. But it is fenced off so that at least keeps it from being a cow pasture again. Here are some photo's from today but I can't wait to post some of my mom down there soon!!
