Dickson Cemetery # 2--numeric listing

(Note:  When you see the code HCCD in the listing below, that is an abbreviation for the book titled Houston County Cemetery Directory 1810-1988, published by the Houston County Historical Society.  We carefully reviewed any differences between the older listing of this cemetery and our listing to give you the most accurate information possible.)

 

# SURNAME FIRST/MIDDLE NAMES BORN DIED AGE
           
001 P--VW E E ? none none  
Other Info: This is a rock which looks as if it was cut by a chainsaw.  The lettering is unusual.  It has a P, then a dash, then a V with a W on the upper part of the V, then an E, then another E.  I have no idea what this means.  It may be P--WEE, as in Peewee, but we are not sure at all.  This is probably a child's grave.
002 ? Dutchie none none  
Other Info: This is a much newer stone at the foot of P--VW E E.  Because it is much newer, I am assuming this is a separate grave.
Note: There are several fieldstone markers between P-VWEE/Dutchie and the DICKSON marker which appear to be child graves.
