The first cemetery is 2/10 miles in front yard of old house. The dressed stone
crypt is the grave of Dee Sampson who was killed by lightning. He and his cousin
Henry Dawson were both stuck but Henry survived. Several loose rock are piled on
this crypt which is reported to be fieldstones from other graves that was in immediate area.
