Information on Barnes and Buzbee Cemetery
1. Buzbee family land patent dated June 13, 1883.
2. Barnes family land patent dated May 9, 1885.
3. Location on the Topozone map for a cemetery. This is also where the headstones pictured here were found.
4. LDS church on Bell Shoals. Several headstones were found at the rear of the property but are no longer visible. The best guess is they were knocked down by people mowing and got covered up or destroyed.
This cemetery was destroyed for a citrus grove. Five broken markers were found by the current owner while diggin holes to plant palm trees. No bones were found, only headstones. They are laying just about on the junction of the properties that were homesteaded by the Buzbees and Barnes families. There were about 40 graves in this cemetery so there are a lot left to be found.
