My Grandmother called it the B.Hunt farm, who was Ira Bee Hunt. The farm is now owed by Harpers. Ira Bee Hunt's spouse was Lucy A Harper. The cemetery is well cared for and clean. This was in 2013 when we visit & took pictures. My grandmother, Virginia Gail (Mitchell) Davis Parents: Hoyt Edgar & Mary Mundy Mitchell, grandparents George Washington & Mary Susan "Molly" Hopkins Mitchell, 2 aunts Naomi Delsie Mitchell, Dovie Bell Mitchell & a brother Orville Thomas Mitchell are buried there. Gail went to live with her grandparents at the age of 12 after the death of her mother, Mary. A half mile from the cemetery is the Mitchell homestead.
