John and all, I stopped by the Greenhead cemetery last summer and have a number of photographs of the grave of John David Dykes, the lynching victim, and others. John David was a noted Populist leader who was taken from the Vernon jail and executed by a mob after he was accused of killing a turpentine crew boss.
