Martha: Yes, the Bruce's are buried in Attala Co -- some at Pleasant Ridge, North Union, but majority are buried at Shiloh Cemetery in Carmack Community. Was hoping someone might have a "clue" about Sarah E Mask (Bettie) before she married Charles M. Bruce. They obtained their marriage license in Attala Co, but married in Leake Co. Thanks for your input.
