When this cemetery was located it was quite overgrown, however a complete restoration project was initiated in January 2019 by a descendant of those buried here with the assistance of the local Sons of Confederate Veterans, The Old Brunswick Camp #512. It is believed Wiley Short Jr., father of Rosa Everlina Short and Mary Frances Short, both wives of John Douglas Scarborough, and his wife Lucy Ann Smith, are buried here. |
