The Oakland Cemetery book shows HEWITT, Vester 1903 - 1958 (Double Stone) HEWITT, Lelia Clyde, 1923 - immediately next to SLAUGHTER, John Henry, 2-08-1915 - 10-12-1979 The book was published in 1995, which is why Lelia's death date is not given. SSDI shows LELIA C STEELE, born 17 Aug 1923, died 22 Oct 1995, last residence Monticello, Drew County, Arkansas Let me see if I can figure out Vester's parents from census records so I can look them up in the cemetery book for you. --Melissa > > Mary Burton <mkburt2002@yahoo.com> wrote: Hello, Listers: I am > researching the surname HEWITT in Bradley County. > > > > There is a James Allen Hewitt (about 60 years) living in Drew County; > his > wife's name is Judy. > > > > I am looking for his father, Vester, and mother, Lelia Clyde.

Vester's parents are William and Caroline Hewitt, is that correct? I looked in the Bradley County Cemetery book, Volume I, and don't see them. Perhaps they are buried in a cemetery which will be published in Volume 2. Mary King Barrett's obituary index shows that Vester Hewitt's obituary was published in the Eagle Democrat August 7, 1958. You can write to the folks at the Bradley County library for a copy of the obituary. I am not sure of the cost; perhaps one of the local researchers can chime in about this. --Melissa On 1/27/07, Melissa Jones Belur <rootsweb47@gmail.com> wrote: > > The Oakland Cemetery book shows > > HEWITT, Vester 1903 - 1958 > (Double Stone) > HEWITT, Lelia Clyde, 1923 - > >
