This private plot is by far the most interesting yet found. It is on the top of a hill, surrounded by a cornfield, and is a wilderness of poke-berry bushes three feet deep and whole ina very bad condition. The majority of slabs are of white granite, about six feet in length and about a foot thick and completely covered the grave when placed. These large, flat stones have a raised coffin design and the upright ones have carving that is very well done. Some have fallen on their faces and it is impossible to move them. There are many river rocks and obliterated inscriptions. The inscriptions on most of the others are so faint that they are read with difficulty and some of them can be read only by touch. I cannot guarantee that the inscriptions enclosed are absolutely accurate, but they are nearly so, especially the dates. The earliest date readable is 1796, and the latest is 1850. 1734 is the earliest birth date.

This appears to have been the Miller Family lot. Henry Miller, believed to have been a son of Adam Miller, and spelling his name both Millar and Mueller, established an iron foundry at the foot of the hill, which was in operation over half a century and from which many purchased the iron for their fences etc.

8 stones fallen and illegible.
