              This is how the cemetery looks from the road. The yellow line 
                under the area in the woods where the 4  
                markers are located (Evaline, Elijah K, Elijah E., and Mary Jane). 
                There are probably more stones in the area as the community of 
                White City was nearby. John and Sally Eakins are probably buried 
                there, but their graves weren't found. Their stones might be way 
                underground, under a huge tree, or might have been stolen by "visitors" 
                and used in landscape designs somewhere.

              Stone reads: Mary Jane, daug'tr of John & Sarah Eakins, born 
                July 17, 1831. The death date is on the bottom part of the stone 
                which wasn't found, but Mary Jane probably died between the 1840-1850 
                census. There may be other children of John & Sally buried 
                there also. According to the 1840 census, there are two missing 
                females--one born 1835-1840, and one born 1830-1835. This marker 
                was found under about 2 ft of dirt.
