Livy Ann Cavin & Mead J. Haile Decendants To Meet At Hibbitt Cemetery, Cooke County, TX June 15, 2002 Many distant Haile cousins met over the internet while researching the Mead J. Haile family who lived long ago in Bedford County, TN, Stone County, MO, and Cooke County, TX. These meetings have led to shared research, to friendships, to ancestor write ups for the Bedford County Tennessee History Book soon to be released, and finally to a new tombstone for their Great-Great Grandmother Livy Ann Cavin Haile who died in Cooke County in 1882. The 120 year old tombstone was found broken in half, and the cousins feared the grave would be lost. The cousins will meet one another for the first time on June 15 at Hibbitt Cemetery in Cooke County, Texas to dedicate the new headstone.
