Wakefield (Butts) Cemetery

This following is written on the cemetery marker shown above:

"David G. Butts, Civil War Soldier, emigrated from Kentucky with his wife, Rachel, to homestead this land in 1870. This plot was first used in 1873 as a community burial ground.

Their daughter and her husband, Minnie and William Wakefield, bought the farm in 1906, dedicating the cemetery for public use in 1908.

After the death of her husband in 1909, Minnie operated and lived on the farm until her death in 1970. Her life span of 96 years spanned the interval from ox-power to man's walk upon the surface of the moon.

This marker is erected in 1971 by Pearl Kennedy and Earl F. Wakefield, children of Minnie and Wiliam."
