Avery County, NC - Pittman Cemetery - Addendum

Although not marked, I know for a fact that my great-great-grandfather 
and his wife were buried in this cemetery in unmarked graves.

They would be Sites # 117 & 118, beside of their son-in-law Clyde Jackson.

Their names are:

Joseph Franklin Buchanan, b. Dec. 1851 - d. 5-04-1931

Isabell (Ibby) Greene Buchanan, b. Nov. 1959 - d. abt. 1934

Joseph Franklin Buchanan's death certificate says he's buried at 
"Henson's Creek"

Their granddaughter told me that they were buried in the Pitman Cemetery,
beside Clyde Jackson, their son-in-law, under boxwood plants because
they could not afford tombstones. When Franklin died, his wife planted
boxwoods there so that people would remember where they were buried.

Mellanie Hensley Knight, a proud great-great-granddaughter, who just 
wants her grandfather remembered.
