Close to the center is a grave covered with a large slab of limestone, measuring about 4 feet by 8 feet. The slab sits atop smaller slabs -- about 16 inches square and sitting up on edge -- resembling a mausoleum. At this time (1964) some of the vertical slabs have caved in and the grave is partly open. Stories vary as to the identity of person buried here. One legend says that at those times when funerals were held here, the coffins were carried on the slab. Although the stone probably weighs more than 300 pounds, one particular gentleman was able to carry one end by himself. When he died, the slab was placed over his grave. According to Anna (Dockery) Burgess in "A Place Called Poosey" (recorded by Roy C. Hicklin, 1982), "Old man Freel, the one the first school was named after, was one of the first, if not the first that was buried here. The date of his death is unknown. Freel has no headstone, but has the distinction of having a very large slab of stone across his grave."

An inventory of this cemetery was made in 1964 by Mrs B.F. Hoover, Mrs. Vernal Ralston and Mrs. Delbert Hesler, who not only recorded the names and dates but also noted information regarding certain family relationships. Additional notations have since been added making it unclear which specific data actually appears on the headstones. Please beware of possible errors.
