Posted on: Sumter Co. Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Al/Sumter/10399 Surname: ------------------------- Millville was a community a few miles northwest of present-day York. Although I have not done an exhaustive search for cemeteries in the Millville area, I did survey the old Mt. Herman cemetery in that area. I found no graves of Grays there. It is very likely that your Marion Madison Gray was buried in a solitary grave on his land, or in a family cemetery on his land. While attempts were made in the 1960s and 1970s by my mother and others to locate and survey family cemeteries throughout Sumter County, many were missed because of no permanent markers or because of the ravages of man and of nature.

Posted on: Sumter Co. Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Al/Sumter/10398 Surname: ------------------------- I surveyed a cemetery on County Road 23 several years ago which I called the Haupt Cemetery in a book that I published in 1997. Among the people buried there were Sebastin Haupt (1784-1835) and Matilda Haupt (1794-1880), wife of Sebastin Haupt. In my book, I included the following directions to the cemetery: "From Belmont, proceed east on County Road 23 for approximately 3 3/10 miles. The cemetery is approximately 50 yards south of the road in heavy overgrowth."

Be Blessed! Thea -----Original Message----- PANCAKES Six year old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parents pancakes. He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the counter, opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy Flour canister, spilling it on the floor. He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed in most of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on the floor which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten. Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated. He wanted this to be something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad. He didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or on the stove (and he didn't know how the stove worked!). Suddenly he saw his kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away, knocking the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he tried to clean up this monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas wet and sticky. And just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tears welled up in Brandon's eyes. All he'd wanted to do was something good, but he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybe even a spanking. But his father just watched him. Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged him and loved him, getting his own pajamas wet and sticky in the process. That's how God deals with us. We try to do something good in life, but it turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky or we insult a friend or we can't stand our job or our health goes sour. Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think of anything else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us and forgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him. But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes," for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, and then they'll be glad we tried.

I do wish I had the map when I was prowling through the Sumter County Probate office trying to track land transfers in the 1800s. It is a fine road map, too, with the names of communities which are not on other maps. Just wanted to thank you, Cherry.

My name is Patrick LeBlanc. I recently became the agent for the Estate of Vera Hall, a singer and composer from Livingston, Alabama. I have been trying to gather more details on Vera's life. I have also been trying to locate her grave at the Morning Star Cemetery. It is my understanding that no records exist for this cemetery. Is this true? The Morning Star was once referred to as the Livingston Negro Cemetery, maintain by either the city or county. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help. Pat
