Stones
There are 3 stones stacked off to the end of the first row. Visible on top of the stack is an old stone for William Henry Walker. It has an inscription on the bottom “Not my will but thine be done.” The bottom two stones appear to be a matched set. These are presumed to belong to some of the other family members buried in this cemetery under modern stones (but died much earlier than the age of the headstones).
