I notice that two of these cemeteries have the same name as "communities" east of Bruce, MS on Hwy. 32. Does anyone know why? or if there is a relation.......They would only be about 20 miles apart the way the crow flies....Wonder if there were relations to people buried there and people living in these communities (Paris and Pilgrims rest)? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra F.
