BRAZIL

Brazil is located seven miles North East of Sumner Mississippi. This 
site was settled in the mid-1800's and called Lay for the man who 
owned the land, but later changed to Bessie for his daughter. The
railroad was built in 1906 . Smith Murphree now owned the land, and 
it was called Murphree's Spur. For some unknown reason the name was 
changed to Brazil in 1915.

This Cemetery corrected, and updated February 1999.
