Michael C. Boley (26 Sep 1880-21 May 1947) is buried in Clopton Cemetery behind the East Brent Baptist Church. I noted there are Merritt's buried there too...could one of them be the one Jerry referred to? There are three burials from 1920 shown there, but not an infant Boley... Perhaps someone associated with that cemetery would know if it had been known by another name previously? Bruce I just got Jacki Wilson's note about Michael's wife dying in 1920 and being buried in Whitmire Cemetery. Perhaps her death in 1920 and the child's death in 1920 were related. It would seem logical to assume the Mother and Child who died in the same year would be buried in the same cemetery, I would think. AND Whitmire Cemetery is not far north off of Olive Road... -----Original Message----- From: fl-wfgs-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:fl-wfgs-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of L. L.

Henry Shepard died of Yellow Fever in Mar 1823 and was buried in Olive - I assume in the Olive Cemetery. I doubt you will find a tombstone for him though since he left four orphans. His wife had died earlier. There is no mention of an Olive Cemetery in Escambia in Chronicling America from 1905-1910 in the Pensacola Journal. And it may be that there never was an Olive Cemetery. Back then the front yard was close at hand and the Funeral Parlor Lobby hadn't yet formed. Those listed in the early papers as buried in Olive may have just been buried on their family's property. Bonnie is right though. It would make a great Footprints article to document trying to find the Olive Cemetery. Jerry On 5/2/2011 1:42 PM, Bruce and Connie Rova wrote: > Michael C.
