Updated 10/31/2020 Johnson Cemetery #2 Closed to burials Est. appr. 1863  
  (aka Burdette Cemetery, per 10/18/1905 Breckenridge News newspaper edition)     Per Betty Cummings Cook, CG (Certified Genealogist and descendant of John P. Cummings): "This graveyard appr. 40 graves apparent only because of sunken places. The land was formerly owned by Lewis Burdette in the 1850's and 1860's. It believed most of the early graves are of his family and neighbors. The land was owned at one time by a Gosnell who fenced the cemetery because earlier owners had allowed cattle to knock down the stones. It is said the stones were carried away from the graveyard.
