Terry, As Glenda and I have helped each other over the last few years, I came to the exact same conclusion as you, and have expressed that to her. There are usually some unavoidable errors in the transcription/printing process of any book. I do believe that's what happened, but I can still understand her "nagging" sensation of not knowing for sure. I know where the original hand-written Evans transcription is located. I don't know why I hadn't thought of looking at it before. Going over that may not solve the problem, but I'm willing to try. For sure, this is on my "to do list" for this week.

Glenda, There is a problem with the Evans' 1938 transcription of Thompson/George Stanford Cemetery, pages 109 - 110 of MONORE COUNTY MISSISSIPPI CEMETERY RECORDS. In May 1938, Dr. Evans, assisted by Horace Baker and Frank Crawford inventoried the George Stanford Cemetery. They must have also inventoried the Shiloh Cemetery which is located nearby beccause their list of Stanford Cemetery contains 9 names from Shiloh Cemetery and only 14 names from Stanford Cemetery. It is my opinion that the lists of two cemeteries which Dr. Evans and his crew inventoried in 1938 got mixed up and combined when the manuscript was being typed --- and that the mistake haunts us decades later. I cannot find Shiloh Cemetery in their index of cemeteries. If you have access to the Evans inventory as reprinted in 1980, the last two names listed as Stanford Cemetery at the bottom of page 109 is the beginning of the Shiloh Cemetery burials which continues on the top of page 110. The only reference on either page to BIRD is "Bird, John K. Born -- 26 Sept. 1831, Died -- 21 Sept. 1905" on page 110. No other notation or reference to Bird burials is made by Evans on either page. You may also wish to consult the inventory of Shiloh Cemetery done by Patricia Horne. She found both of your Byrds when she was there in 2006. Her inventory is at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~msmonro2/cems/shiloh.html I did an inventory based upon photographs of the grave markers at both Shiloh and Thompson/Stanford in 2009. No Bird/Byrd burials were found at Thompson/Stanford; two Byrd burials were noted at Shiloh. That inventory with links to the photographs is from March 20, 2009 and was published in article # 80 of Cemeteries of the Hill Country http://cemeterieshillcountry.blogspot.com/2009/08/cemeteries-of-hill-country-cd-ordering.html). It is my opinon that both Mr and Mrs Byrd are buried at Shiloh Cemetery --- both their large markers are located there. But can't these old records confuse us completely? Hope this helps. And my offer still stands --- next time you are in Monroe County let me know in advance and I'll make arrangement to take you to Shiloh Cemetery where John K Byrd and his wife's grave markers are located.

I have a problem I am in hopes someone can help me with. When I first started the quest for my heritage, I found a tombstone for my ancestor, Elvira Caroline Moore Byrd, wife of John Kirk Byrd, in the Thompson-Stanford Cemetery, which was on the property where she and husband lived. Dr. Evans has the tombstone as John Kirk Byrd's marker in his book but it says on the marker, "Elvira C. Byrd, Wife of John Kirk Byrd", but is barely legible. A few months ago, Terry Thornton so graciously sent me pictures of tombstones for Elvira C. Moore Byrd and John Kirk Byrd and they are in the Shiloah Cemetery in Monroe Co., MS. John Kirk Byrd died in 1891 and Elvira died 1905, but I'm not sure if she is buried in the Thompson-Stanford Cemetery or in the Shiloah Cemetery. Does ANYONE know which grave is really hers or why she had two different tombstones??? The marker at Shiloah looks newer than the other one so I'm wondering if John Kirk Byrd was actually buried in Shiloah and the descendant who erected them assumed Elvira was buried there also, not knowing about the other marker, so they erected both of them. I'm hoping there is a descendant on this list who might know the answer to this haunting question. Glenda McWhirter Todd

Thanks Anne --- Right Lewis family so we must be getting close! LOL! I don't know the name of the cemetery reported to be up in the woods behind Splunge School House on private property --- and the other is a small cemetery just south of "down-town" Splunge near the intersection of Splunge/Greenwood Springs Road and Brown-Taylor Road (the road that goes to Lann Cemetery). I think this second one is called the McKinney Cemetery --- and the 1938 Evans inventory of it does not include Wm Lewis. Re: The Stockton Portable Folding Reed Organ.

Hi Barbara, The small portable reed organ is commonly called a "God Box" because the chaplain services of the military have used them to provide music for worship the world over since about 1900. The one I have came from the Monroe County Mississippi Stockton Estate (in Anne Stockton O'Neal's line) --- it was bought circa 1880-1890 for a circuit-riding Methodist song evangelist, a Mr. Stockton, by his siblings as a present. He complained that many of the rural churches and brush arbors meetings he helped with had no musical instrument --- so his brothers and sisters bought him one made by the Carpenter Company of Brattleboro, VT. It is a small-trunk sized organ and is very portable --- the legs fold down, metal rods connect the bellows with the pedals on the base; the lid opens forming a music rack and exposes the keyboard --- and the air is provided by pumping the pedals. My late father, Garfus Thornton, bought the organ for me at an estate sale at the Stockton farm house on Weaver's Creek near Parham, Monroe County, Mississippi, in the early 1950s for $12.50. I will be playing a short set on the reed organ for a fundraiser, Mississippi Hill Country Heritage Day, 211 Main Street, Fulton, Mississippi. Sponsored by Preserving Itawamba County's Heritage, all proceeds from the event will benefit the relocation and preservation of Fulton's second oldest surviving residence, The Cedars (Cates-Gaither House). The event is Sunday afternoon 2 - 5 PM, October 18, 2009, at The Cedars. Tours, history, games, music, and a tasting session of period foods --- cost $15 per adult; $10 per student; little guys get in free. I don't know at this time when I will be playing the Stockton Folding Organ inside The Cedars ---- the music schedule is still being set --- but sometime between 2 and 5 PM. Come join us for a celebration of Hill Country Heritage --- and help save The Cedars.

Hello Terry, It is good to hear from you again. The W. T. Lewis you mentioned is William T., the child of Columbus Wayne Lewis, my William's brother. My William and Columbus Wayne are children of Abel Lewis. W. T. Lewis' wife is Lula Pickle, daughter of James Hardy Pickle and Malcena Baldwin, and sister of my great-grandmother, Mattie Pickle Lewis who married John Calvin Lewis, son of my William Lewis. What are the names of the two cemeteries not yet inventoried? Perhaps, I should just settle with the Crenshaw site. I would enjoy hearing you play the organ. Let me know the time, etc. Thanks again for your reply. Anne Stockton O'Neal ----- Original Message ----- From: "William T.

Anne, On April 14, 2009, I did a photographic inventory of Crenshaw Cemetery. The head stone for William Lewis (no dates) is available at my Flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/3446322408/ Wm Lewis is not on the inventory of Lann Cemetery which I completed November 13, 2002 nor is his name among the burials inventoried in 2009 at Riggan Chapel Cemetery --- not at Thompson/Stanford Cemetery either. There are two small cemeteries not yet inventoried in the area --- but I doubt that that a marker for him will be found there. The closest (to Splunge) Lewis burials I've found so far are two in the Bethlehem Cemetery (almost due north of Splunge) --- two children of W.T. and L. Lewis who died 1904 and 1905. The W.T. Lewis father is unknown to me --- is this possibly your William Lewis who died 1914? LEWIS, Carrie Bell, May 29 1903, October 8 1904, on marker with Clara May Lewis, children of W.T. and L. Lewis LEWIS, Clara May, May 1 1902, September 21 1905, on marker with Carrie Bell Lewis, children on W.T. and L. Lewis On a completely unrelated matter but perhaps of interest to you since we have earlier discussed the Stockton Portable Folding Organ from Monroe County --- I am scheduled to play that 125-year-old portable reed organ publically October 18th for the first time in decades at a fund-raiser for Preserving Itawaba County's Heritage's efforts to obtain, relocate and restore the historic Cates-Gaither House on Main Street Fulton MS.

Theresa, Do you know of anyone who has an inventory of these cemeteries? I looked at the web site you sent and noted that these two were not on the internet. I plan to make a trip to Amory in a month or so and I do not know where these cemeteries are located. Thanks for your help.
