The tombstones recorded are all that remain of the cemetery. There may have been more but there was no evidence of them at the time. Since the Walker-Ramsey recordings in 1988 many more of the stones have been lost or destroyed only 4 remain. Of the 13 tombstones recorded, 8 are for children under 5 years old and 2 of the adults died before being married.
There are no adult tombstones between 1865 and 1880. There are no tombstones dated after 1881. Buckeye Furnace closed in the 1894-95 but the church remained until the mid 1900s.
