I believe at that time the only funeral home was Sims so I will try that. Thanks

Frances, yes - it could mean that there is no tombstone. Since you attended the funeral - do you or someone in the family remember the name of the funeral home? Maybe, they can tell you more.

I love it! I live in a mobile home, and believe me, when bad weather is coming, I commit the home and everything the Lord has given me to HIS care, but the next thing I do is take steps to secure my computer and peripherals! I thank the Lord for His faithfulness -- he has always taken care of me (and my computer)!

Could that mean he doesn't have a tombstone? I know Clemmie is buried there because I was at the funeral. John A. Wright is his father, or at least Sarah West Wright was his mother. Frances

There isn't a Clema Wright listed. There is a James C. and a John A.

Clema John Wright born 10 Nov 1916 to John Anthony Wright and Sara West Wright, is buried at Hebron Cemetery just outside Douglas. Does anyone have a list of people buried at the cemetery? I need the date of Clema's death. We had 15 Feb 1960 but today his daughter, who didn't have the opportunity to know him, thought it was 1962. Thank you, Frances

There are some Tarrants that were buried out from Bethel Community in a little cemetery called the John Carver Cemetery. My mother's family used to tend land beside it and they played there as children. In 1978, according to the Coffee County cemetery book, there were three Tarrants listed, Edneral ( a child), Gordon Tarrant 5/6/1841-5/5/1926, and Maryan Tarrant 10/10/1948-1/8/1928. It also lists 13 unmarked graves. I've told this story before, a long time ago, but my Mother remembered the cemetery because of all the unusual items on the graves. There were lots of spoons, cups and saucers, and sea shells. I believe that she and my uncle agreed there were about 35 or so graves there. In the past couple of years, some "kind" soul took it upon himself to clean up the cemetery and removed every brick, staub, post, wooden marker, large rocks, whatever there was. They mowed the grass and cut up an old tree. The cemetery has a fence around it, and the ground is now smooth and clear except for the indentions that show where unmarked graves are. I hope the person who cleaned up the cemetery is not on this list, because I certainly don't want to offend anyone, and I'm sure he or she meant well, but that person destroyed a lot of history when he cleaned up those old graves. There are only about 5 or 7 identifiable graves there now. Plain markers, no spoons, no shells, nothing. I would love to identify these graves, in fact I 'd love to identify all the unknown graves in Coffee and Atkinson, but, of course it is now impossible to do so. In Coffee County, Julie Quincey wants to save trees, I want to save graves.

Received this from a friend and wanted to share. A SPECIAL PRAYER Dear Lord: Every evening As I'm lying here in bed This tiny little prayer Keeps running through my head. God Bless my mom and dad And bless my little pup And look out for my sister When things aren't looking up. And God there's one more thing I wish that you would do Hope you don't mind me asking But please bless my computer too? Now I know that's not normal To bless a mother board But just listen a second While I explain to you 'My Lord'. You see, that little metal box Holds more to me than odds & ends Inside those small compartments Rest a hundred of my 'BEST FRIENDS'. I know for sure they like me By the kindness that they give And this little scrap of metal Is how I travel to where they live. By faith is how I know them Much the same as you I share in what life brings them >From that our friendship grew. PLEASE, take an extra minute >From your duties up above To bless this scrap of metal That's filled with so much love!
