Part two: My Uncle Bill Kersey was surprised to find out that the tombstone in Ft. Pickens was his grandfathers. He knew about the cemetery at Red Fish Point, and said " that he had heard about that cemetery all of his life and had gone there one time when he was a boy". He rememberd his grandmother Samanth'a Tombstone, but not grandfather Ben's. We went to Milton and found the recorded cemetery deed and the description of the land. My Uncle did an aerial survey and found the cemetery right away. This was in the late 1970's early 1980's. We went over and took pictures . There was no tombstones. Someone had removed or destroyed all of them but a couple of slabs that marked baby graves. The fence had been torn down but the fence posts remained. It looked to be about three acres. One could tell that it truly had been a cemetery at one time. Meantime while we were trying to decide what to do with Ben's tombstone, a family member went over to see the cemetery and discovered a house being built near the cemetery. My uncle went to Ft, Pickens and took possession of the tombstone, because they were threatening to warehouse it and told us that it would probably be lost to us, if we didn't come and get it. He put it in his garage for safekeeping, until we could figure out what to do with the cemetery that had no tombstones. and a lot of people buried in it. Finally, I set up a meeting with Richard Jernigan ( who was in charge of recording the Santa Rosa Cemeteries ) and my uncle Bill. We met Richard over at the cemetery, and he was able to establish it as a cemetery, by the artifacts there. We found what was left of Walter Turner's tombstone. It was buried under about six inches of sand. We took pictures of Walter Turners granddaughter, proping up the tombstone. All that could be read on the tombstone was Walter Turner born Dec 1873 died Dec and that part is broken off. We were able to establish that it was 1933 through the childen of Walter Turner, who was still living at the time. Part Three Coming up. Doris
