The Cemetery is located on T. A. Chapman property near the Prichard
School off Howells Mill. It is the family cemetery of William Love who
was the brother of Daniel Love across Mud River. The cemetery name was
latter change to the Sheff cemetery. The cemetery was adandoned until the
mid 90's. and was very overgrown. The cemetery then was
bulldozed and reclaimed by the BSA troop 701. The stones were broken
and badly damaged. They were put back together and cemented in a 10
foot area. It is reported that there are slaves buried in the cemetery
also.
The Love family first settled on the North side of the river where this
cemetery is located. As the family expanded one branch purchased land
on the South side of Mud River just east of Ona. One Civil War
skirmish left holes in the house on the South side. Several of the
Love sons fought in the war.
