Did you receive my mail re recent destruction at Teel Cemetery? Will be happy to contribute to you PRAM (Please Replace a Marker) @ Cool Springs. It has been my intention to perform complete survey of this cemetery as the one online only includes those in the contributor's family but never seem to have time or weather isn't right to do so. Had planned to do it when there in June but couldn't leave research to do so. Will write to J.D. I have two relatives there whose stones have deteriorated and had checked w/Pea River many moons ago about their markers but they no longer have volunteer who will deliver and stones much too heavy for me or Margie to p/u. Perhaps, if you get positive results from your plea, Margie and I can buy these stones and include them in with the Coon's for placement at same time. Barbara A.

Yes, I did receive that email, but no, I was not aware of the vandalism until the arrival of your email, and I was horrified by it. For those on the list who do not understand to what is being mentioned, Barbara's email is below concerning the Teel Cemetery vandalism. Phyllis J. K. Owens In a letter written to the Opp News, J.D. Bedsole writes that on July 4th, wooden crosses he and brother, Cecil, built and installed for the unmarked graves, were torn from the ground, tombstones damaged and the mailbox destroyed. Barbara A.

Phyllis, Do you have the list of Coon names in unmarked graves at Cool Springs? We have replaced several stones in my husband's family. Now they can be identified by all who are searching.
