    3. Can anyone tell me how to get in contact with the pastor of Moore Schoolhouse Baptist Church? Maybe give me a phone number or an email address? Also, at Moore Schoolhouse Cemetery, there is a large sandstone in the back corner of the cemetery. I was told that my great-grandmother Ludie Holley Moore said that the grave with the sandstone was her father, Grant Holley, a Civil War veteran from Mississippi. Before I try to make a claim on this grave, I was wondering if there were any claims from other families on this grave. I need to know because I planning on setting down a military tombstone there for Grant Holley. If it claimed by someone else, I will have to put it in an unclaimed space. Also, does anyone know the burial place of Laney Moore, Jr., of the 6th Tennessee Cavalry (U.S.) I have a tombstone for him as well. He died during the Civil War in 1864 in the town of Helena, AR. The records do not indicate if he was buried there or returned to be buried in McNairy County. I suspect he is buried at Moore Schoolhouse, though possibly in an unmarked grave. (I'm planning to make sure that I haven't overlooked his marked grave there.) If he is buried in AR or his grave is unmarked, I hope to place the marker beside the tombstone of his wife Mary Tull Moore, and her second husband, Barton Moore (who was Laney Moore, Jr.'s first cousin) if the space beside her is unoccupied. Anyone who can help me with any of these things, please feel free to write me back. I do ask that the information about the pastor been sent in a pvt message to me, but the info. on the graves may be sent in a private message or on the listserve. I appreciate your help.
