The Pruitt's buried in our cemetery[Pleasant Hill/Darter Chapel/Birmingham 
Methodist]  are the family of
Louise Pruett Rudizill Brown.  There are a number of
variations of the spelling for Pruett.  It should be
noted that the grandfather of Louise, Zachary Taylor
Pruett, preferred it with an "e" not "i".

If strongly feel that the great grandfather of Louise,
Zechariah Taylor Pruett is buried in the cemetery along
with his wife, Jane.  I have a good deal of information
regarding this family.

The marker for Jonathan Pruitt is the largest in the
cemetery.  Jonathan served in the Civil War, but his
family did not draw a pension, indicating that the
family was not poor.  His obituary is only one line in
the Cherokee Advance.  His wife's was on the front
page, in the October 31, 1924 edition.  Her tombstone
was placed by her family in the early 1980's.  Her
obituary:

"Mrs. Pruitt Passes Away, prominent Cherokee Woman
Passes to the Beyond. Mrs. Margarett Elizabeth Pruitt
was born in Cherokee County, May 10, 1848 and died
Monday morning at 1:15 o'clock at the ome of her son-
in-law, Mr. Wright and was buried Tuesday morning in
Pleasant Hill cemetery, Rev. E.C. Wilson pastor of
Canton Methodist Church conducting the service.  Mrs.
Pruitt had been a member of the Methodist Church 52
years and was a member of Orange Methodist Church in
this county at the time of her death.  She blessed the
world by giving birth to nine children, only six of
whom survive her.  He husband died 35 years ago and now
her body rests beside his."
