Hi Sharon,Thanks I thought as tall as the grass was there was no trace of a cemtery left. Good to know there is. Hard to think of your brothers grave being lost forever,even if I never knew him his twin was sure a pain :) If you let me know when you and your brohter will be there Ill try to come help some.Who do you think took care of it in the 70's the older Guinn? Are you the Sharon who helped with the book History in Headstones? Thanks for the info on Baxter and Love I really appreciate it.I had tiney fingers delete some before I got to read it all ( I do a quick scan then go back and read) was there someone on the list who's ancestors had giving the land for Love Cem.?

My other Cemeterys are 12 Corners my Weaver Grandparents are buried there and some of the Harness kids,Dyer some of my Harness Uncles and there familys,New Mulberry has my grandfather Cooksey and 2 of his son's.

No that wasnt me that helped with the book about the cemeteries but i sure appreciate the ladies that did come up with the book, im sure they dedicated theirselves with lots of walking and cleaning headstones to be able to compile the book. Thumbs up to them. When we get ready to clean the cemetery i will post to it this website and see if anyone else wants to join but it will be in the winter. I have lived here in Van Buren most of my life, my line consists of Brown, Stephens, Gregory and many many more. Thanks Sharon
