Cemetery on Collier Rd Rt 1515. From intersection of Collier Rd and Bridgers Rd Rt 1151 headed towards Lasker Golf Course Rd Rt 1516. In a field on left.

March 1999 - cemetery cleaned by Jimmy Collier, owner of the land; Paula Harcum and Dot Harcum, all descendants of Franklin Windfield Bridgers and his 2nd wife Fannie Teneal Odom.

At that time only one (1) headstone was standing and was visible from Collier Rd. The other headstones had fallen from their bases and one (1) was broken and pieces recovered. These stones were left lying on ground near bases. There were two (2) unmarked cement slabs – facing west, the adult to the right of large standing headstone known to be the grave of Fannie Teneal Odom Bridgers, 2nd wife of Franklin Bridgers and an infant slab known to be the grave of Mary Belle Collier, infant daughter of Katherine Bridgers and Luther Collier.

Fall 2012 - Trees and underbrush had taken over and all that was visible from the road was a "clump" of vegetation.

Nov 2013 - Cemetery cleaned by descendants of Sarah Frances Woodard Bridgers Peele and her only child, Franklin Windfield Bridgers and his 2nd wife, Fannie Teneal Odom through their son, Millard Eugene "Genie" Bridgers.

October 2016 – Graves disinterred and moved to another location on the farm, nearer to the woods line. Remains reinterred and headstones repaired and mounted to bases. Not visible from Collier Rd.
