The hillside is extremely steep and the cemetery is rarely used as of this date. There were several recent burials found. The survey has been compared with one done by Mr. Shelby Meyer in 1965. Several stones omitted at that time have been located and several that were found by Meyer are no longer standing or have disappeared all together. The cemetery is in fairly poor condition and contains areas where graves have sunken in causing stones to fall over. Many of the large stones are tilting due to poor condition of their footers. In the summer, grass and weeds generally take over and many stones are hard to find. One of the best areas of the cemetery is actually on top where it is easier to mow and maintain the ground. There is a large mausoleum on top of the hill contain the Mackie family. Another os the large stones is for Dr. Joshua Bradford and wife. Mary of Augusta's famous citizens are buried here, the Taylor families, Doniphans, Bradfords, Marshall, just to name a few. The cemetery is easy to find, it is on the south side of route 8 in Augusta and is accessed by a road that leads to the top of the hill. 024 BAKER FAMILY CEMETERY #1: The Baker Family Cemetery is in a heavily wooded area and is in poor condition. There are numerous unmarked graves and numerous graves that have sunk and the staones have fallen over. In addition, many of the old stones are difficult to read. The cemetery contains the grave of John Baker, who has been identified by the DAR as a Revolutionary War Soldier. A marker indicating this is placed at the grave site. There are many missing tombstones and several graves are maked only by field stones. This survey was taken in the summer of 1995 and has been compared with an earlier survey to include any stones found then that have now disappeared. The cemetery is located on the right side of Highway 19, 3 miles south of Augusta as you travel to the AA Highway. The cemetery is easy to miss, as summer months bring heavy growth of grass, and stones cannot be seen from the road. 025 BAKER FAMILY CEMETERY #2: This small Baker Family cemetery contains at least five burials, however it appears that there were additional graves which were either unidentified with stones or the stones are missing. The cemetery is behind a barn on the Bud Malone farm, 3 miles south of August on Highway 19. These descriptions are from the Tombstone Inscription Book. From: RPhill1715 Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998
