SURNAMES: HUNTER LUNSFORD HEFNER
QUERY: My grandparents, John Wesley HUNTER and Laura Irene (WILLIAMS) HUNTER were buried in Snow Hill Cemetery about 1917 in unmarked graves. I want to place stones on their graves and need a contact person to find out if there is a plot map. I was there yesterday with my brother and sister. My brother was taken to the cemetery in 1958 and shown where the graves were located and he believes he has shown us the correct spot, but we want verify that. While there, my husband spoke with the pastor of the church located beside the cemetery. This wonderful man told him this was not the original site. He directed us to a spot on FM144 to the Hays Cemetery. We found the sign, but could not locate the cemetery or graves. Were the old graves moved to the new site? Any information or direction would be GREATLY appreciated.
