Dedicated to the memory of William Waylon Jacks and his enduring belief that even the smallest town in America can have the biggest hidden history imaginable. And that to know this history, somebody must discover it, learn it, write it down, and share it with all who are interested. Thanks for being that somebody, Mr. Jacks. Thank you for teaching me, through your book, about my earliest Bailey family ancestors who settled in the great state of Mississippi. James Wiley Bailey, Jr. "The history here in this account, may not be a true one, if not, then maybe someone will come up with one. We the people who lived in Stewart made its history! I love its history! I love its people!" from "Stewart: A Town to Remember", by William Waylon Jacks For name searches of this index, use the "Find" or "Search" feature of your browser. *************************************************************************** Peebles Cemetery The list below does not include numerous other stones that have been placed on unmarked graves throughout the cemetery.
