UNKNOWN Cemetery
This listing is being made due to letters and request we have received
concerning those who died during the "Fever" epidemic. From all counts
there were thousands who died and there were not enough folks to make
the coffins, so they were buried in "mass graves". The "Yellow Fever"
epidemic was only one of the many epidemics to hit the USA and other
countries. Some statistics I have seen said that about 20 million
nation wide died as a result of the yellow fever epidemic. In 1878 a
Yellow Fever epidemic hit Paynes Mississippi and almost wiped it our.
This probably accounts for the many unmarked graves in the cemeteries
in the area.
In 1918-1919-a Flu epidemic hit the nation killing over 20 million
folks. This flu epidemic hit the United States in spring of 1918. The
deadliest wave came the following fall. The influenza slaughtered more
soldiers of all nations than were lost in the war. According to reports
I have read more than one-quarter of all Americans suffered bouts of
flu. The articles stated that more than 600,000 Americans perished,
10,000 of them Minnesotians. It is said that 1,000 died in St Paul Mn,
more than 1,300 in Minneapolis, Mn., and in New York City alone 33,000
perished. Approximately two percent of the Native Americans Perished.
The epidemiologist explained that the 1918 flu virus were exceptionaly
"virulent". The virus underwent several dramatic mutations in
structure, and these mutations can turn flu into killers because the
victim's immune system do not have the antibioties they need to fight
off the altered virus, and fatal pneumonia can develop rapidly. In
1957 and 1958 the same flu virus was detected that struck in 1918-1919.
A national immunization campaign was launched to vaccinate as many of
the Americans as possible against what they called the "Swine flu",
therefore a major epidemic did not develop.
Listed below are some folks that died during the "Yellow Fever Epidemic".

***********
Below is a short history of Paynes Mississippi. They say that
Paynes was almost wiped out by the Yellowfever Epidemic in 1878.
Which probably accounts for so many unmarked graves in many of the
Cemeteries in and around Paynes.
PAYNES
Paynes is located five miles south of Charleston. The settlement dates
back to 1830 when Robert Turnbull, an Indian, settled there and built
his residence, and cleared a farm. In 1833 Turnbull sold John H. Page
half a section of land. The sale was not consummated until 1838. Page
took possession of the land in 1833 and by 1834 a settlement had
developed. Page's home was designated as the center and as one of the
places for holding the first election in the county. It was called
Page's on Sculmore.
In 1835 the settlement was called Dogwood Flats and was designated a
voting precinct. Between the years of 1836 and 1843 Dogwood Flats
almost became the county seat.In the early 1870's the settlement
became known as Paynes for Dr. George Paynes. In 1878 the place was
almost wiped out by the yellow fever epidemic.
If you have family that died during one of these epidemics and they
are in unmarked graves and you do not know where please advise us. If
you know where they are buried, but the grave is unmarked, please
advise us of this also and they will be placed in the proper cemetery.
Thank you, Helen Staten Arnold, & Nick Denley
