A new bridge was built over Holman Creek at this location in 2004. Society members visited this cemetery in August 2004 after the bridge construction had begun. We found several fieldstones marking graves but could not find the tombstone for Nancy Bohannan, which had been photographed in 1995. Society members again visited here in the Spring of 2005 but the Bohannan tombstone wasn't found.
During the highway construction, some dirt work was done in the area of the cemetery and a new fence was constructed. The highway officials had been notified of this cemetery prior to construction but it appears that dirt work was done in the immediate vicinity of the cemetery. Unfortunately it appears that Nancy Bohannan's tombstone was either pushed away or was covered over with this dirt.
