The following was written by "Miss Ollie Jones" for Ripley Literary Club's "Early History of the Community" in 1947.
This is a little known cemetery, located on East Side Hill Road extension, just beyond former Bill Baird Corners.  It is across the creek and back of a district school situated there.  Many *Parmers of early pioneer days were buried here.  It is about the size of the cemetery at the top of Sherman Hill Road.  Both cemeteries were cleared up a few years ago, but have been neglected for years.
*Parmer is a surname, not a misspelling.
