Typed by: Betty James Smith This was a large cemetery
Located, from 1/2 and 3/4 mile west of Mt Pleasant, Florida. I don't how or when it disappeared. But it's gone.
This cemetery dated back over 70 years ago. (true age ?) This area was farming land
then for years this land was idle growing up in weeds. Etc. Then a fellow
brought it, Turning it into a cattle
farm. Then some years later a fellow bought it and planted all of it in
pines. This last owner has been
dead for years. I found an old lady who
knew the name of the cemetery and could remember at least four of her
ancestors being buried there. She
was surprised to hear the cemetery was gone. Mary HOLMES Robert HOLMES Dave HOLMES Crissa HOLMES I found an old gentleman
who knew of the cemetery and had been there long ago. He said, There was a huge
beautiful monument in it." One
day he saw it being hauled off. Other times he had seen
stuff from this cemetery being hauled off when they come by his place. Wayne N Carpenter |
