I am taking headstone pictures for people out there as well... so if anyone has any "look ups" just ask and I'll try and get to them... but again I'm transcribing this as time permits me to get out there. Also some of these I have obits for some of them if anyone would like to have a copy...and sometimes there are pictures of the people to go with the obit...if anyone would like to contact me for a copy. Also if you don't find the information on this transcribtion look at www.findagrave.com for the person listed and there may be more information there for them. I am trying to include any additional informaiton that I may know in ( ) under the transcribtions take these only as guidelines in your research, as I don't know how accurate the information is since I'm getting it from family members and off the internet. Again use only what's in ( ) as a guideline in your research. I am trying to update this listing about every other month...I will put * beside those that have been added since the last update. I have made an alphabetical list at the first of everyone in the cemetery then the transcriptions just as they were shown on the stones follows under the list. I tried getting as accurate as I could,..but with weathering, and time some of these were badly in need of repair...so I did as best as I could on these. * William Armstrong * Fred Andrew Becher * Rose Clifton Becher * Beverly Sue Compton * Aubrey Roy Curtis * Billy Rex Cutis "Bill" * Blanche Curtis * Willie Floyd Curtis * J.

(on back) Ronnie's Prayer My days on earth are no longer at hand For me, the Lord, now has better plans. My days were short, but my life fulfilled With my family and friends and God's given will. To help others in need, regardless my cost For without them all, I would surely have been lost The love my family has given me Forem the day that I was born. Taught me to help others, whose hearts were torn, For my family and friends, we have laughed and cried. My heart and love, will always be with you. It's just my body that died. Each one of you meant so much to me, And for this reason I have just one plea To give compassion to all who are left, For you never know you might be next. Finally I'm wrapped in my Grandmother's arms For now they protect me from any more hurt or harm God be with you through the coming days Get to know God and learn how to pray. Amen. ****************************************************** STROUGH Lilly 1908 - 1944 Russell 1902 - 1977 ******************* TAYLOR (engraved praying hands on each corner) Beckey J. b.
