Judy, I went to the Old Arnold Cemetery about 15 years ago. It took a relative to locate it. There are
no tombstones left as vandals destroyed everything. I went again about 5 years ago with my daughter and the
site had been cleaned up by someone, but did not locate any readable stones. I am related to Jacob and Rebecca Arnold
and it was a shame that the cemetery was destroyed. Mary Ann Sexton (2007)
