The Bohannon-Trent cemetery contains seven visible graves along with other depressions. The cemetery includes the grave of Joel Walker Sweeney (1810–1860), who popularized the five-string banjo. The grave of Joel Walker Sweeney is marked by a non-historic marker. It also contains the graves of Virginia Sweeney (died 1877), and Robert Rosser (died 1888). Rosser's grave is marked by a marble head and foot stone. The site is enclosed by a fence. The cemetery lies in a field west of the Charles Sweeney cabin less than a mile north of the courthouse.
