My grgrandfather, T.J. Jackson Jr., was buried in Hart Cemetery in Jan. of 1911. His granddaughter, Della, was buried there in 1905. I'm wondering why no other Jacksons were buried in Hart. My grandfather was buried in Corely Cemetery in 1918; my grgrandmother, Julia Eldys Jackson, was buried in Corely Cemetery in 1939, rather than in Hart Cemetery next to her husband. Most other Jacksons that I know of were buried in Corley. I noticed death dates in Hart Cem as late as the early 1990's, so it doesn't appear that Hart was closed to further burials after my grgrandfather. Anyone know the history of Hart Cemetery, something that might explain my puzzle? Ken Jackson

People are still being buried in the Hart Cemetery, although there is no records for this cemeteries I was told that families just know where their lot is. A lot of the markers are gone now. This cemetery sits in the middle of a pasture. The last time I was there someone had pulled one of the WOW stones under a tree, I guess to sit on. And cows were walking around the cemetery. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okpontot/pontowns.html#Hart Sharon Ken and Judy Jackson wrote: > > My grgrandfather, T.J.
