The first one is for the Viet Nam Wall. You can search for a name if you are looking for someone special. The second one allows you to search using the state of "Home". They list by state shows the City, town County. Hope this helps someone. It did me! Thanks Angela

Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to check out the Juniper Cemetery site. The good news is that Jean has the problem solved. She was able to contact AOL, and found out what to do to correct her browser. But all of you helped us prove that it was on-line! Virginia

She had been confined to her bed three weeks. At the time of her death she was 46 years two months and 10 days old. Before her marriage to Mr. H.C. Benford about 19 years ago, she was Miss Sallie Mitchell, youngest daughter of Uncle Johnnie Mitchell as he was known, of Marion County. Besides her bereaved husband she leaves a sister, Mrs. W.P. McCorkle and three brothers, L.J. and H.S. Mitchell, of Blueville, Ga., and J.W. Mitchell, of Mauk, Ga., other relatives and a host of friends to mourn the loss of a loved one. Although we know our loss is her eternal gain, we cannot help but shed tears of sorrow. She called her dear companion to her bedside before she died and talked freely. She told him she saw her way clear that she hated to leave him but she must go but they would not be separated long that he would soon follow her, then they would be together again forever. She seemed perfectly willing to go and that is so consoling to her broken hearted husband and bereaved relatives. She was a devoted wife, ever ready to bear her part of the hardships of life as much as to enjoy the pleasures. She never joined any church but her faith and service were with the Primitive Baptist and had been since her girlhood. She wanted a home with them but felt she was not good enough and that she might be mistaken though she was just as faithful as those that had discharged their duty in going to the church. So loved ones don’t weep for her as for those that did not have that sweet hope of Jesus Christ. We know she is at rest and may the Lord help us to live the life she lived that we may meet here where there will be no more parting. All that faithful physician and kind friends did was to no avail though we know all was done that could be and we feel so grateful to them all. The funeral services were conducted by Elder T.D. Roberts after which her remains were laid to rest in Bloodworth cemetery to await the resurrection morn. Written by Mrs. J.M. Guy Manchester, Ga. ---------------------- Card of Thanks I take this method of thanking my kind neighbors and friends for their kindness to me and to my dear companion in her last illness and in my sadness in parting with a precious companion and especially to Mrs. Jane Burnett and Mrs. Mamie Guy for their kindness and to Drs. J.W. Cook and J.L. Morris for their faithful service and such deeds of kindness will ever be remembered and hope that I may hold the same friendship and respect. H.C. Benford The Butler Herald Thursday, July 12, 1917 Page Three Friends here of Mrs. H.C. Benford regretted to hear of her death which sad event occurred at her home near Charing Thursday night.

Schley-Marion County GaArchives News.....A Description of Schley/Marion Counties-1885 August 17, 1885 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Harris Hill http://www.rootsweb.com/~archreg/vols/00011.html#0002514 June 10, 2005, 4:34 pm The Atlanta Constitution August 17, 1885 The Marion County Sentinel says the praises of Southwest Georgia, showing it to possess advantages which should attract heavy immigration. It says: Southwest Georgia is the garden spot of the world and the counties of Schley and Marion, the central beds in the beautiful garden. With a climate which excels that of Italy, this section of Georgia offers a home to the man and woman residingh in the bleak and ice bound regions of a higher latitude in every way desirable. We know but little of these extremes of heat and colds, destructive alike to comfort, health and life. Marion is a banner cotton county of Georgia--this is no guess work--the commissioner of agriculture of the state of Georgia at the exposition held at Atlanta announced the fact on a prominent placard to the people of the world and none doubted. Our society cannot be excelled in any portion of this state, or elsewhere. A proper attention is given to religion and education, and men and womwn occupy that place in the scale of social life to which they are entitled by merit. No ostracism on account of poverty or previous place of abode, a due regard by every citizen for the rights of othersis held by all to be a paramount duty, and the people of this section look more to a man's destiny than to his origin. A large portion of the territory of the county of Schley formerly belonged to the county of Marion, including the present county site, Ellaville, the prettiest town in Georgia, modestly nestling in her emerald setting of living green. Her business men are enterprising and successful. Phoenix like rising from the ashes of the war. The past clothes Ellaville with many pleasant memories, her future will be just what vim and pluck will make her. Building lots at present can be bought there much cheaper than the same lots can be bought one year hence. The two counties of Marion and Schley are watered with creeks, branches and small brooks, never falling streams, which, though free gifts from the God of nature, would be held in high esteem by sections in the states west of us where the rippling of running waters during the summer months are hushed. Our home soldiers some of them, will remember the weary march in the neighborhood of Corinth and Tupelo, Mississippi, and the scarcity of water. There is also a broad guage railroad of recent construction, running from Buena Vista in Marion county, through the county of Schley, by Ellaville to Anderson(ville), a spot made famous as being once the place where one of the Confederate prisons was located. The grounds now kept and beautified as a national cemetery. What could be more delightful to a northern invalid on a southern tour seeking rest than to stop in Anderson (ville), view the national cemetery grounds, board the Buena Vista and Ellaville train and after a few minutes and after a twelve mile ride, reach Ellaville, made to feel at home by kindness and hospitality, and begin to study the character of true southerners, finally giving place to others coming in, proceed to Buena Vista, to meet other true southern men and women, breathe the pure air, said to be the best on the continent by a scientist of no small repute for the consumptive drink good wholesome water (not artesian) and return home, built up physically, mentally and spiritually, by an association with cultured and hospitable people.

Is it used today for something else? When was it last used as a school? It would be good to get a history on-line, and maybe hear from some people who may have attended it. Virginia Crilley
