    3. In the listing for Bethel Cemetery, on the Shelby Co. GenWeb site I find: Maidie Delanie Downing b. 08-28-1900 d. 05-28-1999 and Langston Lunsford b. 03-06-1922 d. 05-18-1999. Maidie was my wife's great aunt. We had expected her to be buried at Mount Bethel Cemetery. I asked my brother-in-law and his wife, they live near Bethel to check it out. Sure enough they didn't fine Maidie in Bethel. While there they decided to check on Langston as he was the only other burial listed for Bethel in 1999. They didn't find him either. We went to Timpson for Thanksgiving and I did a little checking of my own. I found Maidie Delanie Downing, buried right next to her husband in Mount Bethel Cemetery on FM 999 just south of Gary in Panola Co. One of my sisters-in-law thought Langston could have been buried at Bethel Cemetery in Nacogdoches Co. so I went down there. Sure enough Langston Lunsford is buried beside his wife in Bethel Cemetery, Bethel Baptist Church, Appleby, Nacogdoches Co., TX at the end of FM 941. Maidie has a funeral home marker from Mangum and Langston has a funeral home marker from Cason Monk-Metcalf. Hope this helps those who are unable to find Maidie and Langston after a full search of Bethel Cemetery in Shelby Co. Jim Barrett Bedford, TX
