I need to know the number or name of the road from, Celeste, in Hunt Co. to Blue Ridge. Also the road to the Pike Cem. Thanks, Bonnie childress leblanc

Howdy! The road from Blue Ridge is FM 981 East toward Pike; however, there [or maybe even further back West when FM 981 turns North toward Pike] just keep driving 1 mile due East to the county line & where definitely the road number changes to FM 1562 & on to Celeste. In order to drive to the Pike Cemetery stay on FM 981. I don't know what buildings currently remain in the Pike community; however, I think that I remember that the cemetery is located near the highway there. However, if you are looking for the older cemetery where many folks who were involved with the Lee-Peacock War are buried, then continue on North toward the Fannin County line where there is a road off to the right (that should be the second road to the right North of Pike). I believe that this is a dirt road that turns back South & turns back East & then back North again. The cemetery (Lee Cemetery) should be located there at the intersection where another road comes in from the East. Please note that this area is remote & you should not go over there alone or in wet weather!!! Happy Hunting! Ray George

Pardon me for stepping in on the conversation, but would you please tell me when the Lee-Peocock War was & is there a list somewhere of who died as a result of that war?

Rebecca, I do not have an answer for your question, but there is a small book out that describes the Lee-Peacock situation. While I was visiting with the town historian in his flower shop in Leonard, I saw the book for sale. Sorry, but my memory fails me on the correct name. I think it sold for $15.00. Mabe some of the other members can recall.
