This maintained but unused cemetery has eight graves with inscribed markers and nine graves marked by native stones. It is enclosed by a stone wall. Canvassed by Jean Anderson, Mildred Harris, and Jeff Upchurch (1980). A Rigsbee relative remembered that it was here that three Confederate soldiers were buried, their bodies having been found following one of the last skirmishes in the area. Only their soiled uniforms indicated they were soldiers. The Rigsbees washed the uniforms, redressed the bodies, and buried them in this family cemetery, saying, 'Hopefully, someone will do the same for our folks.'
