Located across the road from Bethany Free Will Baptist Church at 1328 Palmer Cemetery Rd. Several of the graves are very old and are not readable at all. I walked the entire Cemetery and recorded as many of the graves as I could read. A couple were hard to read, it is possible I mis read dates. Also, when possible, if a husbands full name was not used, If I knew what the full name was, I included his whole name. For the wives, if I knew the maiden name, if it was not on stones, I Included it in this survey.....Jean Frost" JULIA MELTON FORD B: 17 AUG .1926 D:25 NOV. 2007 ROBERT W.
