Christopher, Yes, I am the woman in B'ham who called the funeral home. I readily found my ggparents, James Baker Roberson and Bettie Bullock Roberson, in Beecwood.(Your directions were great.) They are buried beside his brother and wife and a son, William Jasper. The plot is in the "old" section as you had thought, just over the rise. My original email is at the end of this one. What a nice man you are! You have been so willing to offer your help each time I contacted you. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
