I also have a photograph of the front of the church with the sign that says: "Clayton Missionary Baptist Church." Perhaps this needs to be added to the title as some folks may not realize that the Clayton Church of Christ Cemetery is in conjunction with the Clayton Missionary Baptist Church. Also, on this site it mentioned "Misc. (emblems, etc.)" - Joel G. Deese's headstone is in the shape of a log with an emblem "Woodmen of the World Memorial," this is not indicated on the survey. Would anyone have any information on this memorial? Survey has: Centhia Jame JOHNSON, 02-15-1869 6/16/17 w/o JOHNSON, W.W. -- yet, I wrote down (standing at the grave) b. ?, d. 14 July 1932. Survey has: W.W. JOHNSON, 02-14-1865 2/20/36 h/o JOHNSON Cyntha Jane -- yet, I wrote down (standing at the grave), b. 5 Feb. 1864, d. 16 Dec. 1900? -- and his name was William Washington The information that I have on Joel G. DEESE agrees with the survey. I was there on August 13, 1981 and the JOHNSON graves were in very bad condition. The DEESE grave was in good condition at that time. Any thoughts on your part would be appreciated. Thanks!
