Location: Madison County, about fourteen miles west of Canton, and just west 
of the springs at Livingston Springs.	

Copied from inventories given to Canton Library, Madison Co., Miss. and are 
on file there.  On a little hill there is a great deal of evidence of what 
must have been an elaborate family burial ground.  There are remains of bricked 
graves (and also quantities of Indian flint chips, evidence of the Indians 
having been here first).  Records show that Hardin D. Runnels, a brother of 
Hiram  G. Runnels who was a govenor of Mississippi, died in January, 1830.  
All that remains to recall his memory is the little foot stone, now fallen 
down the hill into the deep sand below.
