Don't know if this was ever posted to list, but I found this in another copy of the Claysville Weekly Recorder, March 29, 1996.
Apparently there is a cemetery located behind Dallas United Methodist Church. It had been severely overgrown (picture of before and after was in paper) and was cleaned up by a young man working on his Eagle Scout project.
Please note: I am typing exactly as written in paper.
STONES READ AT DALLAS CEMETERY, by Priscella Layne
This past summer, Kevin Whiteman and his family, along with other helpers, cleaned the cemetery behind the Dallas United Methodist Church of weeds, trees and unwanted vines. Kevin, a senior at Wheeling Park High School, did this work as an Eagle Scout Project. Kevin's mother told me (P.Layne) as they were coming to church one Sunday when Kevin was just a small boy, that someday he was going to clean up the cemetery. The following is a list of names that could be read from the old stones: (note: *stands for unclear letter or number)

Hope this helps someone. (submitters note: next to this article is the write up on Mr. Kevin Whiteman receiving his Eagle Scout award. From the pictures - the 'before' looked like woods and when he got done - there was a field with tombstones - he did a great job)
