' The Holmesville Cemetery 1750 - to present Location About one-half mile south of Holmesville, Miss., in Pike county, Mississippi. Holmesville is a few miles north of U. S. Highway 98 in eastern Pike County, Miss. Condition: A good fence surrounds the cemetery and grass is cut several times a year. Plans to restore the cemetery were put into action but halted in 1958 because of illness of Mr.____Dennard, the main force behind the restoration. There are many scattered graves which are easily missed, the reason my copying is dated in 1955 and 1959. Copied Fall of 1955 and 1959 - Frank Lewis Brown, Franklinton, La.
