HEMPHILL GRAVEYARD. This mortal sanctuary reposes in a grove of oaks and hickories on the top of the hill between DeSoto (Mobley) Park lake and the street car line, about 100 yards west of the old home of Philip Walker Hemphill, and contains the sacred dust of the following: Elizabeth Cunningham Hemphill, first wife of Philip W. Hemphill, died Apr. 9, 1844; aged 34 years and 24 days. Two daughters, Margaret Jane Hemphill, who died July 3, 1837; aged 3 years, 3 months, 14 days, and Nancy whose slab contains the date 1841 but is otherwise indistinct. Mrs. Hemphill's slab states that she was for sixteen years a member of the Presbyterian church. James M. Cunningham, born Jan. 26, 1821, died Oct. 22, 1851. These graves are boxed over, with flat slabs on top. Fifteen feet northwest of the four are headstone and footstone marking the grave of a daughter of Samuel and Mary G. Mobley; time and weather have erased the first name and the dates of birth and death.
