This cemetery is unfenced but mowed. There are four graves in front of the church. One tablet is leaning on a tree and another is leaning and facing the wrong direction. The stack stone needs to be cleaned. On the north side of the church is a plot of plants with a flag. This may be the grave of Eli Gathright, Civil War Veteran. Northwest of the church is a small house. Behind the house is small stack stone that has been broken and repaired. It is for Thomas Barber who was killed by a train on a railroad trestle. Supposedly there used to be more graves in front of the church.
