    3. Jackie, I checked the index of "A Survey of Brooks County Cemeteries" (1999) for your MARSHALL ancestors. This is what I found on page 199: OAK HILL CEMETERY - WEST, North Highland Street, Quitman, Brooks Co., GA. This cemetery is the largest one in Quitman. It has two sections--East and West. MARSHALL Rev. Marion Monroe, January 1, 1876 - July 21, 1939. Dora Sanders Marshall, April 27, 1877 to August 5, 1943.
