This memorial is posted in memory of William Riley Jacobs, Sr. It is not known for sure if William Riley Jacobs, Sr. is buried here at Williams Cemetery. His land was located about 3 miles south of the cemetery just off Old Town Creek Rd. At the time of his death, Hart Cemetery (located southwest of Williams Cemetery) was a little nearer to his land, but Hart has no record of his burial there.

Gordon Jacobs, a grandson of William Riley Jacobs, Sr. once told of walking through the woods in this area and coming up on an old wooden cross marker with the name "Jacobs" on it near a small creek. Williams Cemetery is located next to Old Town Creek - Hart Cemetery has no creek in the vicinity. However, a creek runs through the land that William Riley Jacobs, Sr. owned, so it's possible he was buried on his land.
