  • I got it from an old timer out here that this is the "Peak Graveyard".
  • There are two names on the list but there is one more stone that was not readable.
  • It is now located on the Louden property at 11444 N. Hicks Ridge Road.
  • I visited this graveyard April 25, 2000

    • Myers, Nancy d. Sept. 24, 1842, age 27 yrs.
    • Peak, Elizabeth, w. of John Peak, d. Oct.15,1849, age 55 y rs.


Note by Robert W. Scott : This cemetery is not shown on the Jefferson Co. road map. The description "Bliton Farm" applies to the 1940s when the John Paul DAR transcribed the stone.
