Cemetery notes from Ethan Geer: depressions and mountain stone markers point to other burials for which no information could be obtained. An elder in the area said that these were fine upstanding people as many of their service records do imply. The church still operates and the cemetary is well maintained as of current time. A chance meeting with members of the congregation refered to G. M. Suttle as Reverand and that he hailed from nearby Lafayette. This family may also be linked to the Suttles of W. Armuchee Valley mentioned in Alfred Sartain's History of Walker Co.
