Approximately twenty family slaves buried here, some marked with
fieldstones, others unmarked.
In the year 1840, Adrian M. Hurt, 16 year old eldest son of Ira
Hurt, Sr., and his wife Eliza Slaughter Hurt, and approximately
twenty family slaves died of typhus, contracted from the latter
upon their return from Kanawha County, Va. (now West Virginia)
where they had been working in Mr. Hurt's salt works there,
Adrian's marble tombstone was brought from Kentucky by wagon
team. The image of a young man's face carved in the marble
is believed to be an actual likeness.
