Comments:  (S. Humphrey, 1981)  According to local sources, the two Tackett
brothers died during the Civil War.  Their deaths occurred while they were
hiding from Guerilla soldiers who were "enlisting" recruits.  The brothers
suffocated, hiding underneath a feather mattress.  Families were said to be
fearful of the Guerilla soldiers as they often looted livestock, food, and
other items from the families.

Comments:    (Will Updike, 1997)  Cemetery was not located, possibly destroyed
during trail construction.
