The following markers face, and are visible from, Enterprise road:

L- R: (these are all 'standing markers')

1^st row:

JAMES,  Mack , b. Oct 9, 1889 - d. Jan 24, 1919

JAMES, William , b. Sept 20, 1900 - d. Jan 27, 1918 (square marker, broken at top)

 (top broken/name missing): b. Jan 6, 1862 - d. Feb 12, 1923
(Engraved below dates: "Asleep in Jesus")

 JAMES, Eliza ,  1951 : "A devoted Mother"

JAMES, William , b. Oct 16, 1866 - d. June 2 ,1932
(There is a resting lamb atop this marker, and beneath that "In Memoriam", followed by the name/dates and beneath those the inscription; "Gone but not forgotten".)

-End of first row-.

2^nd row

There appear to be at least 2 unmarked graves at the beginning of this 'row':

JAMES, Arthur , b. March 15, 1906 - d. June 08, 1932
"A little time on earth he spent, 'til God for him his angels sent"
(This is an ornamental stone, with engraved hand, finger pointing toward the sky, etched leaves.) (Approximately 4-5 spaces.)

JAMES, Cassel , b. 1905-d. 1963 "He has kept the faith".
(This is a small marker with a rounded crypt type slab directly behind it.)

There appear to be many unmarked indentations, adjacent to the fence if facing the woods away from the road:

3^rd row, (L-R)

The first stone adjacent to the fence, rounded cement slab type top, with a newer looking headstone at foot of this:

THORNE, Eli  Jr., b. Dec 16, 1955 - d. Oct 11, 1986 "Darling, we miss thee"

There appear to be possibly two unmarked graves following this.

HAGAN, Elizabeth , b. Aug 21 1921- d. March 17, 2000
(This is a relatively flat single marble headstone, more recent style, set in ground)

May be other graves past that, but if so they are unmarked).

If facing the previous part of Enterprise Cemetery you can drive past this on the left, and approximately 50 or so yard's to reach markers in a clearing of the wooded area.

Take care not to drive over a flat marker that you will find prior to reaching other, older, markers and stakes.

On right, facing into the woods:

Flat type Marker set at ground level:
WILSON, Holland , b. Nov 20, 1919 - d. Sept 19,1988

Possibly/probably more graves around this one, but none visible.

Next what appears to be another row, but no markers. One, small, metal funeral home information stake, but no information.

Next row: two more small, metal funeral home stakes, paper missing, imprint illegible.

One of same in edge of wooded area, and I have been informed there are many of these scattered among the woods, which may have been part of this cemetery but is overgrown.

Next a metal stake, paper missing, imprint also illegible, and possibly two unmarked graves.

DAVIS, Robert , Florida 547 ENC SVC VN WWI
b. June 5, 1893 - d. Feb 12, 1970
(Marker is older marble, military, with engraved cross in a circle at the top:

Just past this are 2 more metal, funeral home stakes; missing papers and illegible indentation

3^rd row

Two more metal, funeral home stakes; missing papers and illegible indentation.

BRYANT, William O. , Florida 18 DEPOT SVC CO QMC
b. Dec 27, 1892 - d. Feb 1, 1958

WHEELER, Anna , May (?)1961 or 1967
(Older metal funeral home stake; .imprint appears to read as stated)

Past this may be more graves, but area is overgrown with grass and weeds.

Next row:

Two or three indentations appear to be graves, but no existing markers:

DAVIS, Mrs. Rosalee ,  "Loved and missed by her family", written on a scrap of paper stuck beneath the old plastic cover on the metal funeral home marker.

LEANS/LEARS, Mrs Elizabeth , (Surname is unclear) March 20, 1950 - (illegible)

(Older metal funeral home marker)

Metal funeral home marker, paper missing, imprint illegible.

Behind this and all around this area appear to be unmarked graves. One metal funeral home marker in the woods, but it also is faded and illegible.

To the right, in the edge of the trees in wooded area, is a metal funeral home marker . Paper is missing, information from imprint in metal which says:

BREASTERNG , Lucilla (?surname unclear) d. July and it also says March 9, 195?.

Charles Bailey Funeral home marker, paper missing. Inf. From indentation.

This concludes the part of the cemetery in woods.
