    2. Victoria
    3. As you may already know, a large number of cemeteries have been added to the Dillon/Marion/Marlboro/Robeson websites, courtesy of our "cemetery gals", Sandra Brumbles and Sheila Berry (with a little help from friends and family, including Mildred Hayes. These ladies are doing an incredible job and braving heat, storms, bugs, you name it, in the process. The cemeteries they've surveyed and sent transcriptions for, just since August 1st, are: Alford Cemetery Arnette Cemetery Cook Cemetery Elvington-Barfield Cemetery Grantham Cemetery Robert Pickett HAMER Sr. Cemetery Harrelson Cemetery Hayestown Cemetery Horne Cemetery PAGE - McCORMICK Cemetery (Solomon PAGE) Ray Cemetery (William) Rogers Cemetery Rozier Cemetery St. Mary's Cemetery St. Luke Cemetery Sherwood Cemetery Townsend Cemetery (and I've probably overlooked one or two) In addition, Sheila Berry, bless her heart, has been photographing many of the older tombstones and sending them along for the web site. Two of the cemeteries the ladies surveyed are now marked off for lot sales (mobile homes) and these photographs may be all that exists in the near future. [NOTE for David Jackson-- one of these cemeteries is the Hamilton Cemetery. :( ] If you've already looked at these cemeteries (below), you may want to check back...Sheila's sent in tombstones photographs for: Alford Cemetery the Johnson Cemetery on Stroud Road, Lake View Ray Cemetery on JoAnn Branch Rd. **this small cemetery has been staked for lot sales and we do not know what will happen to the tombstones. Don't know why USGS assigns this as the Ray cemetery; the few headstones in view are for HAYSE (HAYES), ROGERS, and FLOYD. Wonderful work, ladies, and bless you!
