The McClanahan Cemetery is located south of I-40 off Grant Road on Hidden Valley Lane. It is
on the west side of hill about 100 yards after crossing stream on footbridge. It is grown up with
vegetation and not easy to locate. This is on private property at the end of the lane.
The circa 150 year old house was demolished Sept. 2003.

One fieldstone marked burial noted that appeared to be a child based on length of grave. Former
Landowner stated that he thought there was an additional stone that we did not locate but we found
a broken piece with no markings. Eveline's tombstone has been blackened and damaged by a recent
brush fire but is still readable.
