A visit to Kentucky town cemetery

i and a friend visited this cemetery when the weeds were high in 2015 and we were unable to get very far into the cemetery, we went back in 2016 and thought the weeds were waist high and the snakes were prowling yet, we were barely able to make our way through and see the stone. Kentucky town is once existing place. Its no longer an active community. Nothing that I personally know of remains there honestly.
I would love to go back to the cemetery if the weeds were not so high. Below is my pictures and a link to the Find a a grave and a link to the Grayson county Genweb page about the Cemetery.

"Sacred Harp, a robust frontier gospel style of singing and composition, began here during the Civil War was Quantrill Gang rendezvous'
