This cemetery was first recorded by Leroy Blair of the White County Historical Society in February 2002. Following is his report: "I was told of this old cemetery by a lady who works in one of the White County offices and lives near the cemetery. It is located off Goad Road just outside the Bradford city limits. I believe it is in White County, for if you are coming southeast on Highway 87 from Denmark, about a mile after you pass the ‘Entering White County’ sign, take the first road that goes north. Go about a half mile to the first crossroad and turn right. The cemetery will be on the left about two-tenths of a mile down this road. This is probably a very old cemetery. It appears to have been badly overgrown until very recently. It is enclosed by an old wrought iron fence. It is located in a pasture field in back of an old house trailer which was vacant. There is one large stone with the Albert Mardis family inscription on it [photo above] and one other engraved stone for Miles Chambliss. There are 14 sets of field rocks with no information on them."
