Inscriptions

Note:

These cemetery inscriptions were given to me by my cousin Nancy Crockett to retype for her. About 7-8 months before she passed away she asked me to give them to the DAR to publish so they would be available for public use. I tried to do that but my DAR would not take them so I am putting them on here to continue her wishes. PLEASE DO NOT copy them to sell to someone. These are for personal use only!!

These inscriptions were copied about 1950 by Mrs. Julian S. Starr, Sr., Miss. Nancy Crockett, and Mrs. Perry Belle Bennett Hough.
