In April 2010, the cemetery - located in Fountainhead Regional Park on Wolf Run Shoals Road - was found to be well maintained.
The most recent burial was 1962. Confederate veteran, Wellington Fairfax and his family members are buried there. There are both commercial markers and field stone markers within the fenced cemetery. The surveyor noted that there were four relatives who died in 1918, possibly as a result of the Spanish influenza outbreak. One of these, Robert Makely, was a member of the Independent Order of Foresters, a fraternal organization that traces its origins back to medieval times and the Royal Forests of the United Kingdom.
