Carson-Messer Cemetery

The cemetery is located on The Boogerman Loop Trail. About 3.8 miles from the Caldwell Fork Trailhead, there is an unmarked access trail to the right that leads up about 200 yards to the cemetery.

Also known as the Messer Cemetery. Four unmarked stones surrounded by barbed wire. It is believed that Carson Messer is buried here along with his wife. There's also rumor that a third grave is that of an unknown Civil War soldier... or possibly two? Other tales claim two of the Messer's children are buried here.
