Oh, no. It would be back in private land!
I just know the history of Salem as we were members there for years until we
finally closed and we lived right down the road at Deacon. The Powell book
printed the name of a lady buried there. Don't know if there were any other
burials. Too bad these old pioneers are 'lost' as far as their remains. They
were buried in wood or maybe in nothing but the dirt so there would be
nothing left except someones memory. So sad, right? Sallie
