.........Scraping the ground to find graves
Rebecca (Parker) and Benjamin MILES
I first started looking for the graves of Benjamin Miles and Rebecca Parker
Miles in 1985. James and Fanny Ray Reeves sent me up the road, north
of Spring Hill Church. Sandra High McLin and I road everywhere looking. Up
and down all the back roads between Spring Hill Church and Campbellton. Many
times I went back to Jackson County and stayed at the home of Fanny Ray and
James Reeves and we talked about the cemetery. I was told that Phillip Farris
was the person responsible for pushing up the headstones. I called Mr. Watson
on the phone early one Sunday morning and Mr. Watson said he did not know
about a Cemetery on the Property (he had bought the property). It was a relief
when I was told that June Miles had pushed the finding of the cemetery, through
the County Com. meetings, and that the Cemetery was found.
