There is a resting bench inside of the fence for those needing a place to sit and reflect. The bench reads…

“MARIE FAULKNER BOGGS

A virtuous woman her price is far above Rubies
Proverbs 31:10

A welcoming smile and a backdoor that is always open. An outstretched hand and a table overflowing.

In appreciation for your service to our community.

This particular cemetery is a special place for me, as not only my grandfather, Lloyd D. Addington is buried there but also his brother James. E. (Ervin) Addington and a few of their children. Lloyd’s daughter Wilma Jean Addington Hampton and James’ son and daughter James R. (Robert) Addington and Helen (Jackie) Addington Crabtree.

My grandfather Lloyd was known to all his friends and co-workers in the mining industry as “Diddy Drop” because he had so many children. Lloyd and James were the sons of McClellan (Clell) Addington and Nancy Holland Addington.
