Michelle - I'm late getting onto your generous bandwagon of cemetery lookups. I hope you are not worn completely out. My maiden name was Sturgis and I would love to know who is buried in the Sturgis Cemetery you mentioned. I most of my ancestor's graves in the City Cemetery in Thomson, GA but I do not know where g-g-grandfather Alfred E. Sturgis and his wife Elmira Perryman Sturgis are buried. Also, I need to find the graves of my g-g-grandfather William Bastion and his wife Mary Smith Bastion to get their dates of birth and death. I only know their names from finding the guardianship records of my g-grandfather Nathan Thomas Baston (the spelling varies). If they are listed I would be estatic! Thanks. --->>> --->>> NOTE - MY NEW EMAIL ADDRESS IS: fayrene1@home.com Please change your records

Alfred and Elmira are not listed in this book. The Sturgis Cemetery only has three graves in it. Lucie Sturgis 22 Dec 1887-09 Apr 1918, wife of Ed Sturgis. The other two graves are unmarked. There are a total of 23 Sturgis' in this book. Do you have any other first names? There are no Bastions listed but there are some Bastons. There is a William in Shiloh Methodist Church Cemetery 1875-1938 but his wife is listed as Ella V. Baston 1877-1955 There is a Mary Baston at Riverview United Methodist Church Cemetery born 24 Jun 1905 with no death date but her husband is listed as Winnard J. Baston 10 Sep 1903-14 May 1969. There is no Nathan Baston listed (I also checked Thomas) :( :( :( :( :( michele simmons lewis Diggin' in the dirt, lookin' fer them roots! ----- Original Message ----- From: Fayrene Wilson <fayrene1@home.com> To: <GACOLUMB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 12:40 PM Subject: [COLUMBIA CO.] Cemeteries > Michelle - I'm late getting onto your generous bandwagon of cemetery > lookups.
