MY VERSION OF COLLUMS CEMETERY

Calhoun County, MS

By Peggy Aron Young

 

In June of 1999, Mar'ka Bland, and myself, began the endeavor of transcribing the contents or indexing the markers that are located in the Collums cemetery. My last entry was June 21, 2003.

 

I am doing and/or have done, this booklet in memory of my brother J. D. Aron, born 1933, died 1933 at around two weeks old, who is buried there. He was my Mom and Dad's first child. I was born some 15 years later on his birth date, April 26. I have entered all information I and Mar'ka and our families knew about the people buried there, and also compared notes with family history books from Chickasaw and Pontotoc Counties and have finally come up with my analysis of Collums Cemetery. Most likely no two copies will be the same, as, I update when I visit the Cemetery.

 

My lineage that are buried in Collums are: Aron, Overby, Barton, Collums, Swanson, Davidson, among others.

 

This is also available on Diskette saved as a Word Document.

 

Book/Booklet is around 30 pages and is bound in loose leaf notebook, or folder. A picture of the Cemetery is included as a cover page.

 

The book/booklet or diskette may be purchased for $15.00 with no charge for shipping, at the following address:

"I have written a book (nearly 300 pages) about my life, much of which took place in Calhoun City. I write about my early school days, the old ice plant, the Gauley tower, the pond in the middle of the square, working at both drugstores, etc.

The book covers my 40 years of pastoral ministry and gives the good and bad sides of a pastorate.

 My father lived all of his life in the greater CC area. He was Rev. George C. Lee and he was pastor of New Gauley and Old Gauley Free Will Baptist Church for 60 years."

I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks for reading this epistle.
