A FORGOTTEN GRAVEYARD
Pg. 139

     The salt furnaces were built in the valley from James A. Lackey's farm up to the infirmary,  Pieces of the old salt kettles used at the furnace on Lackey's farm were plowed up in the spring of 1900.  The salt boilers at the upper furnaces found it inconvenient to bring their dead to the "Old Graveyard," and they began to bury in a spot near Smith's lane, where it crosses the railroad, on land now owned by W. H. and M. K. Steele.  There are forty to fifty graves at this place, but none of them are marked.  Peter Bunn, who is now in his eightieth year, says that two of his infant brothers and another little boy named Walden were buried there.  Mrs. Sophia Mitchell remembers that she attended the burial of a little daughter of John Radcliff at this place, when she was a mere child, about seventy years ago.
