We give our sincere thanks to Scott McDowell, Frazier family researcher, for information regarding this cemetery. Here are his notes from his visit to the cemetery - well worth reading before you think of visiting it: "This cemetery is located in a cow pasture on what use to be the Charles Floyd & Norma Nadine (Frazier) Johnson Farm. This farm was originally part of the Preston A. & Frances A. (Gray) Frazier Farm as they are the first to be buried in this cemetery (Norma was their grand-daughter). After Charles & Norma died, the farm was left to their son, Charles P. Johnson. It appears that this son has no interest in this farm other than to sell it off for housing development. Houses are currently being built right up to the southern edge of the cemetery. The old house of Charles & Norma is in serious decay as is the cemetery. It is apparent that nothing has been done to keep either of them in any type of repair since Norma's death in 1993. The cemetery is absolutely the worst cemetery I have visited. It is horribly overgrown and a nightmare to visit. Whether or not Norma is actually buried here is questionable since her date of death has not been engraved in her marker. Unless you have an absolute need to visit this cemetery, I would avoid it." |
