I have visited that lovely cemetery in Appleby. It contained a surprise for me, because May Deen Reeves was my grandmother. She died before I was born, and I never knew she remarried after the death of her first, and long-time, husband, Abner. She married a man named Tom Johnson. Jewel was my very beloved aunt.
Hi, I have seen the correspondence about Apppleby in the last few days and it reminded me of an autobiography of a John B. Rushing handed out to visitors to his 85th birthday celebration. My mother was an attendee at that occasion and she received one of the 7 page documents. Upon her death I took the document and was going to toss it out since it had no relevance for me but at the last moment I decided to see if there was anyone on the internet interested in it. There were a number of requests for a copies so I scanned it and converted the images to text files and then sent one to each person who requested one. Some time later, and I don't remember exactly how, but I received a copy of a history of Appleby, written by James Vard Melton. It has lts of names in it, some photos of places, hand drawn maps, etc. In the name inex there are two Reeves mentioned; A.C. Reeves and Mildred Reeves. One of the maps shows a Bethel Cemetery with the date 1887. It also states that a tornado on 26 Dec 1942 destroyed the barn of A.C Reeves On pasge 48 there was a school photo of the class of 1924-1925 and Mildred Reeves is shown as the 1st person on the 2nd row. (The photo is not very good but Mildred showed clearer than most of the others. Not sure if these are of any interest to you but just thought I would throw that in.
