Genealogical note:  Allison Deal left specific instructions in his Will regarding this cemetery and access road to 

be provided and maintained by his direct descendants, who were bound by a Life Estate.  The Laws failed to

uphold my great grandfather's LWT when, without legal claim, the widow of Oscar Deal (my grandfather) was

allowed to sell property.  Sherry Deal Jones 2002
