Beside the family, two men, John HOMER and Wallace HOMER, are in the cemetery.
There is a large red oak tree standing by the graves. The headstone of a little boy was down and large bushes have grown all over the graves.
The cemetery is located on the old DYER Plantation three miles southeast of Eagletown.
