The tombstone of Catherine Mattice - Sloat is in a field on the Old Rice
Farm, northwest corner of Route 660 and Mudge Road in Richmond Township.
It is surrounded by an iron fence and is tended by landowner Emerson "Louis"
Rice. Linda C.R. (Name withheld by request) and Louis righted the stone
today. It had been lying on its face.
The single tombstone reads:
Catherine Mattice, wife of Michael Sloat, Died Mar 7, 1867, Ag 59 y
11 m 21 d
Phileman - son of Michael and Catherine M. Sloat, Ag 27 y 5 m 21 d,
Killed in the Battle of Petersburg July 30, 1861.
Mr. Rice says that Michael Sloat is also buried there and possibly two
or three children who died of diphteria. That information came from Emerson
Rice, (Louis' father) who said there were two childen and Ross Mudge who
lived on that road, who said there were three childen buried there. .

if not most are broken. It is in an area, which is open to cows, and evidence

The OTHER GRAVE read:

Thanks, Mary MILLER Nance

In a message dated 5/2/2008 1:06:21 PM Eastern Standard Time,
Hi Joyce
Just a short note,to let you know I'm still around.This
morning while turkey hunting I came upon a small cemetery,completely overgrown
and neglected,I'm guessing possibly 5 or 6 grave sites.The only stone that
I was able to read was of Hattie Lent,the daughter of J.F. and C. Lent,she
died in 1880,the rest of the dates I couldn't make out.
I got back home and went into your site and found the
marriage of James F. Lent and Celestia Smith of Lambs creek on Nov.29th
1876,so Hattie was probably under the age of 4.
This cemetery is on the Lambs creek road,just before the
Mitcheltree road,approx.100 yds into the woods.It's full of
multiflora rose.
Just wanted to share this with you,take care.
