Hey Scot, No, I'm afraid Uncle Earl never mentioned it, but my Dad said he had seen it when he was a boy. It is suppose to be near Gerald's place if I'm not mistaken. Let me ask Dad about it again. I remember him saying something about an old store too. I'll call him tomorrow and let you know.......................Rita Sometimes, the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter of their wings.......... -- [email protected] wrote: rita, did earl hicks ever tell you about the tiny cemetery in the fencerow near the house where he grew up?? it's a mile or two west of hopewell baptist church.? he showed it to me several years ago and it was all grown up.? i was there two years ago looking for it and couldn't find a single trace of it.? gerald curtis owned the land and he knew about it, but he died and his wife, alma, owns it now. scot -----Original Message----- From: Rita HICKS DonCarlos <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 27 Jun 2007 7:07 pm Subject: Re: ARCLAY Russell-Ermert Boy you have a good memory!!! Yes, Ruby is my Aunt. She married my Uncle Earl HICKS. Their daughter Janet, my cousin, worked there for awhile also. It sure is a small world!!!

Actually, they had 3 locations on 2nd street at various times. Am I remembering correctly that you are related to Ruby Hicks?
