    3. Wanda There are records for Camp Ground Cemetery and Dry Creek Cemetery. I have complete enumerations of persons buried at both places. I do not know who Sadie White is and do not find her listed on any of the documents I have for either cemetery or the church at Poetry, but in all the years I have done genealogical & historical research for persons of Kaufman County and been involved with cemetery preservation here I have never heard of "a fire" that destroyed any of the records for Camp Ground and/or Dry Creek Cemeteries . Nor is there any mention of such a fire in any of the historical publications about Poetry or the church; in Kaufman History Vol 2 in the story about the Poetry Church it mentions that a very complete set of records has been kept since 1916. The persons you name in your post are buried at Camp Ground, however, according to the dates on the tombstones, it appears Caroline would be the mother of Albert and/or Gideon, as she was born 1847 and died 1911. The records show Albert was born 1884 & Gideon was born 1876. If you need assistance with ascertaining info on persons buried in eitheir of these places, please contact me direct.
