THIS CEMETERY IS ALSO KNOWN AS POSSUM TROT.
This story from Lisa Windham's grandfather, explains how it got its name. 
(Zol Nelson)He told me once that it got its nickname
"Possum Trot" because it seemed everytime Papa Zol went
over there, he had to stop & wait for either a possum,
or a herd of mama & baby possums to cross the road &
get out of his way before he could go on.  I don't know
if you've ever seen a possum walk, but they sort of
waddle & when they're scared they tend to waddle-trot,
trying to hurry; thus, the nickname "Possum Trot."  For
some reason it stuck & most of the older folks in that
area know it as Possum Trot. (Lisa Windham
