There was one unidentified  grave which I am assuming is Claude Gillespie #11;  
Lum Honeycutt told me he was the last one that was buried there and his death 
certificate indicates he was buried at the Hurst Cemetery.  His wife #2 is 
also buried there.  I guess that is as much proof as we need .

Lockey & Charles Wesley's dates were different than the ones on the 1940 WPA 
Survey. I am assuming that Locky is the baby of Pollie & James Wesley.  Pollie 
died about 3 weeks after Locky was born, probably from complications of 
childbirth.  I also believe that Charles Wesley is the baby of Martha and John 
Wesley.
