Hi, Does anyone have a photograph of my great-grandfather David Clayton Bell (1875-1924), husband of Edna Josephine Downs Bell, of the Bryan County, Georgia area? I remember as a child being shown a picture of him by my great-grandmother. Thanks, Sharlotte http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/o/n/Sharlotte--N-Donnelly

Sorry about the reply. I meant to email Kathy.. Jeanette

Thanks for the cemetery list and the McElveen file. I haven't found any Ivy Anderson. I got to thinking, maybe I heard them speak of Ivy Miller and not Anderson. I haven't been on much today. Bobby had an 8 A.M. dentist appt. When the dentist was pulling the tooth it broke and he ended up with some stitches.It is still bleeding some tonight. Goes back to his regular ddentist in a couple of weeks for some crpwns and then he will get a partial for that tooth. He is a little vain since it is a front bottom tooth. He probably won't go out to often until he gets that partial. I sent Sherry an email to see if she caan send me another disk with the books on them. I have the books on floppys but I can't get the index. The floppy fills before the page of index is complete. If I don't hear from her in a couple of days, I will mail the books and when we go out to my sons, get Josh to put it on a disk. Jeanette

Thought this might be of interest to folks researching these names. I have not seen this cemetery listed before. I learned of this cemetery while visiting at the McElveens (my in-laws) near the Denmark community, Bulloch Co., on March 24, 2004, and visited the cemetery on same day. Kathy Hodges McElveen Directions: >From the flashing light at the intersection of GA Hwy. 67 and the Brooklet-Denmark Rd. in the Denmark community, go North on the Brooklet-Denmark Rd. approx. 3 miles. Cross bridge. Immediately on left is a cultivated field with a field access road. This cemetery is located on the NE corner of the field near the highway. At the time of my visit this field was farmed by Raymond Waters of the Denmark community. The cemetery is surrounded by a chain link fence and the entire cemetery area is concreted. A sign is attached to the fence gate which reads: 1848 to 1936 Waters-Richardson-NeSmith. I found 21 graves (5 unmarked) in basically 3 rows, described below as First Row, Middle Row, and Back Row. WATERS - RICHARDSON - NeSMITH CEMETERY 1848-1936 FIRST ROW: Waters (Double head stone) James S. Sarah E. Richardson June 7, 1849 Feb. 9, 1854 Dec. 4, 1936 May 28, 1922 Julia Ovelia Waters Feb. 7, 1879 August 8, 1896 Sister (footstone) Cassarine Waters Nov. 6, 1886 Oct. 29, 1888 May Ann Waters Feb. 2, 1876 Apr. 10, 1876 George B. s/o I. (L.?) E. (F.?) & K.W. Richardson (initials barely legible-could also be E.L.) Dec ? (headstone broken-rest of date not readable) Dec. 25, 1883 Elander (?) Lafiet Richardson July 1_, 1881 Apr. 11, 1901 (could be 1891) Kizzie Carmichel 1st wife of Abraham Richardson (no dates) MIDDLE ROW: (Large monument type gravestone) Julia Alzereta - wife of N.N. Nessmith Apr. 21, 1866 Sept. 22, 1910 (next two graves in same plot with Julia A. above) Noah Nathaniel Nesmith Dec. 1, 1860 Sept. 9, 1932 Noah Oscar s/o N.N. & J.A. Nessmith Jan 20, 1885 Jan. 13, 1910 Mary Jennett Richardson inf. dau. of G.B.R. & C.H.R. 1846-1848 Cassarine Hagin Richardson Apr. 7, 1812 Nov. 7, 1868 George B. Richardson Feb. 9, 1821 1888 Saphronia Hagin Richardson Apr. 24, 1834 1886 BACK ROW: Waters (Headstone has fallen over face down-could not lift to read inscription) 5 unmarked slabs

I believe he is the Daniel WHITE who married widow, Elizabeth Hodges Kerby, sometime around 1904.) The 1910 Bulloch Co., GA census, 1547th GMD (Emit), household #170, shows Elizabeth (Lizza? in census), age 55, wife of Daniel WHITE, age 29, farmer; married 6 yrs. (2nd marriage for Elizabeth). Living with them were Elizabeth's 3 children from her former marriage to Wm. KERBY: James Kirby, 25; Eileen? Kirby, 17; Roxy, 16. They were living next to Elizabeth's grand nephew, Joshua Levy (Lewie?-in census) Hodges and his wife Della (Vidella Mincey). In 1939, Elizabeth (Bess) Hodges Kerby White, attended the golden wedding anniversary celebration of her brother, Perry Morgan Hodges and his wife Mittie Eugenia Banks Hodges (married July 1889) at the Hodges homeplace near Nevils, Bulloch Co., GA (Reedy Branch Rd.). In the family group photo taken at that event, Elizabeth is shown sitting beside her brother, Perry Morgan Hodges. Elizabeth would have been about 87 yrs. old at the time of this photo.
