BUCKLEY GRAVEYARD

On the same day I visited the Flinn graveyard, I stopped
for a few minutes at the cemetery at Buckley Chapel, on the
south fork of Lee Creek, at or near the Harrison Bucklew farm
(presumably).

The creek here is only a good sized run.  The country is
rough, and the bottoms not very wide, but they have probably
been rich.  The tops of the hills are paved with limestone.

The church stands on a high narrow point, below the mouth
of a little run that comes in from the north.  I failed to note
any names of the first settlers, so I think there has been an
earlier burial ground in the vicinity.  There is a fine grove
around the church, and the graves are in a little bottom by
the side of the stream, at a turn of the road.

I copied names on a few headstones, all of comparatively
recent date:
Mary Catherine, wife of Franklin Eaton, and a daughter of
William and Caroline Beckett.  Died February 11th, 1884.
Wife of M. Buckley (name not copied) Died 1883, aged thirty
years.
W. Eaton, died May, 1877, aged twenty years.
I noticed also the name of Beckett.
