Lee, Watcha think---the Olive Cem is actually the Clopto?? I was recently in the Clopton, and ran into Mr. Clopton. I should try to give him a call. I think there is another person [a lady] who understands the history of Clopton as well. I should try to find her. The oldest [death date] stone in Clopton, by the way, was 1905, the last time I checked...... way back over in the southwest corner. Evan ----- Original Message ----- From: "L. L.

Evan, You know I am still looking for Skinner Cemetery. The person, Jessee Herrington, buried in Skinners Mill Baptist Cemetery (died in 1893) was a brother to some early burials in Clopton. Isaac Newton Herrington (Jan 9, 1913); Martin Luther Herrington (died Dec 1, 1902) Luther Eugene Herrington (died July 4, 1905, son of Isaac Newton) Sarah Minerva Herrington Loftin (died Nov 26, 1904) There were tombstones for these four people back in 2001 when I took pictures of them. They are located up under the trees on the side adjacent to the interstate. I did go by after Ivan and they were still standing.

Careful in the ID of Olive Cem---RE: email from L.L. Scott, May 03, 2:03AM: We have currently found the headstones in the Clopton cemetery, for NOW; But we DON'T know WHEN they were put there!! According to the email of Jacki Wilson, she has found the grave of the Mother, Susan C. buried in Whitmire, according to Lola Lee's Rural Cems. It is MOST likely that they would have both been buried in the Whitmire Cemetery in 1920, given that Olive Community is right down the street from the Whitmire. Whereas the Clopton Cemetery, which NOW houses their graves, is at least 4 or 5 miles away from the Whitmire, dirt road back them, and was only about 15 years old at that point. And, the Whitmire has babies buried there who were born and died in the 1888's. I would seem MORE likely that Lola Lee's book may have been correct--- back in the 1940's when she wrote it. But for whatever reason, the Mother and child could easily have been moved ANYTIME, later to the Clopton--- because that may have been their own new church, or, a newer homesite, or, closer to other family [pick a reason.] Anyway, our aim, of course, is to compare a "current" name to which ever WAS the "Olive" Cemetery in 1920, when Baby & Catherine Boley died. Certainly the Whitmire seems the more likely place to be buried at that time, and additionally, with Whitmire being located if not IN, certainly in PROXIMITY TO Olive community, AND, finally,with the Lola Lee Book listing the Mom as buried there, I'd put my bets on Whitmire being the "Olive" Cemetery---90 years ago. I know, I know, it ain't proof, and we can work on that some more, but I think it's likely the Whitmire---my opinion. The ideas coming in are GREAT!! Any more!? Evan P.S., For 50+ years a man was buried in the Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery in Molino, and another in the Pugh's Chapel Cem, WEST on Molino Road [C-182], when the I got a phone call from a close friend of the Marlow Family, Mr. Lail told me that these two burials are now buried in the Marlow Family cemetery, in downtown Molino, and that it is a Private Family Cemetery, and they would not allow any visitors, due to the reasons which PUT their family IN there. These two earlier burials had simply been moved---but WHO would know---unless someone else knew---in this case, another Molino resident, who simply had a query for me one day?? These are just two examples of a a handful that we've run into in the past. The Life of Faith Church in Molino, near Barrineau Park, dis-interred ALL the few headstones in their cemetery about 10 years ago, and put them all somewhere else. We have no idea where---they weren't very friendly to us at the time.
