A sign beside the county road does mark the general area of Medford Cemetery, and work was done in 2007, 2009, and 2010 (according to internet research) to clear brush and try to reclaim this graveyard. It is still possible that parts, if not all, of the cemetery aren't easily visible from the county road due to new overgrowth seen in Google Street View images. Due to the many years which have passed, as well as the rural nature of the area, it is not completely certain exactly how many graves are located here. In previous volunteer searches, 9 sandstone markers were found. Jonathan Medford, a slaveowner (and cemetery namesake), is buried here with two members of his immediate family including his wife, Sarah, as well as several of the slaves he owned.
