Sallie,
Harness Cemetery would be lucky to be 1/4 acre now. I suppose the back
part was lost to farming or something. I haven't stopped by there in
awhile, but it contains the remains of several of my ancestors and
relatives. My GG-grandmother was a Harness. (Sophia Harness Polk)

Deb,
Yes, that's the highway and the name. It might be 1/2 acre or maybe 1 acre
with fence around it. The back part is empty and is where we were told
Indians were buried. Wouldn't it be something to take somekind of a
'finder' in there to see IF there ARE graves in that area? I have read
several articles about 'witching' for graves like for water. They say it
works. Sallie
