I could easily have overlooked low-lying funeral home markers or fieldstones used to mark grave sites, although I believe I found most or all of them. Directions: From Hwy. 441 near McDonald's, take Hwy. 64 West and go 7/10 of a mile. Take a right onto Roller Mill Rd. Exit and bear right onto the connecting road (about 3/10 mile). Turn left onto Roller Mill Rd. Immediately take a right into the parking lot of St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church. The cemetery is behind the church building. Headstone, Gibson: Footstone: Rebecca S.
