Richard, There are two cemeteries indicated on the current MDOT Monroe County map lying between Athens and Tadpole Creek in Section 5. Link to map: http://www.mdot.state.ms.us/maps/County_maps/Monroe.pdf One of those may be called Athens Cemetery but I'm not sure; another in the general area is Lann Cemetery [not to be confused with the Lann Cemetery at Splunge]. As far as I know neither of these have been inventoried online but the 1938/39 work by Dr. W.A.Evans Jr probably has then both. Perhaps someone will do a lookup for you. Elsewhere I find the following SPENCER burials [040 is Camp; 061 is Crenshaw; 208 is Riggan Chapel]: 208, SPENCER, Josie C., 1888, 1971 040, SPENCER, Mary R.J., 1875, 1953 208, SPENCER, Ruben L., 1871, 1922 061, SPENCER, Rubie Lee, 1905, 1906 Most of the online transcriptions have been indexed at Monroe County GenForum beginning at message # 2170 through # 2172, link: http://genforum.genealogy.com/ms/monroe/page5.html#2150 I am also listing below the SPENCE and the SPENCER names indexed in Evans' Mother Monroe on the off chance that you might find them helpful: SPENCE, J.A., minister, 97, SPENCE, J.D., Co H 1st MS Inf CSA, 113, SPENCE, J.F., Co I (Lula White Rebels) 2nd Reg MS Cav CSA, 107, SPENCER, F.S., Co B 24th MS Inf CSA, 108, SPENCER, G.W., Co H 28th Reg MS Cav CSA, 114, SPENCER, J.M., 52, SPENCER, Samuel, 37, 61, 94, SPENCER, W.B., Co B (Hamilton Guards) 20th Reg, MS INF CSA, 82, Good luck finding your Spencers.
