He is buried in Sunset Hill Cemetery in Valdosta. The S. Ga. Regional Library provided me with on obit on this family member from the Valdosta Daily times dated Sept. 12, 1927. Quite impressive was this wonderful obit, for it reveals a lengthy bio of this family. Through this obit we learned that William F. Rountee is indeed buried next to his wife, MINNIE DORO (WALL) ROUNTREE. William Franklin Rountree we know, was born in Egypt, Effingham Co. Ga.
