While we were there we decided to walk around the cemetery to see what other relatives we could find, well while Sonny's and a couple of other relatives were out in the open in some grass, the rest of the graves were in the woods. We didn't stay there long because it was july and the bugs were eating us up. But since then I've had a desire to return one day to find out who else is laid to rest there and also cleanup the cemetery and return it to it's original state. I finally got the chance to return to mississippi this summer and one of the first things on my list was to go to the cemetery and record the names on every headstone I could read. Like another old family cemetery near there, this cemetery also had a few graves that were unmarked and sunk in. Of the headstones that I did find that were readable, I recorded the surnames which inc! luded Coleman, Reed, Humphries, Houston, Bragg, Brown, and Cotton. Sometime this spring or summer I plan on starting a cleanup to restore the cemetery to it's original beauty. I think first off I would like to get as many of the unmarked graves identified as I can and once again I wanted to included any and all descendents of the people that are buried there. If you are interested in helping out or have any information to offer on the history of the cemetery please reply. I will also be updating everyone on the cleanup process.
