Interested in any information pertaining to the Parker & Ramsey families residing in Sumter County, most particularly in the area of Geiger, between 1850-ish and 1950-ish. Several members of both families are buried at Souls Chapel Cemetery. (I assume Souls Chapel itself no longer exists--does any one know for sure?) I would also like to know, if any one can tell me, who oversees Souls Chapel Cemetery? There are two unmarked Parker graves in the cemetery, and if they can be located I would be very interested in placing small markers at them.

I found directions to the Souls Chapel Cemetery in a book written by Kathleen Paul Jones and Pauline Gandrud in 1938. I don't know whether it is still there or not but here are the directions: From State Hiway 17, app. 1 1/2 miles so. of Geiger, turn east on a dirt road. The cemetery I s app. 1 mile on the north side of the road. I have relatives there-- Wm. J. Cherry and G.A. Dawkins and his wife, along with others I haven't identified yet, Hope this helps. I found this in our local library. Betty beh@rose.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.F.
