Through the years, I've been able to obtain some information on the sandstones throughout this cemetery. Many of the sandstones have been moved about and from what I can gather, no one is sure of which ones are exactly which any more. But, from my family and the people of the community of Harper's Valley, I've been able to gather the following information about some of the sandstone-marked graves. Thompson, Baby, (stillborn, b/o Jeff and Tessie Batts Thompson). Jordan, Violet Ruth (stillborn, eldest child of Jesse and Hazel Patton Jordan. Hall, Faye Irene (30 dec 1938, lived few hours, d/o Levi and Beulah Patton Hall. Nichols, Baby Boy (s/o Charlie and Ruth Raiburn Nichols) Hall, Clinton Lee (about 1935, 18 yrs, s/o Roy and Sally Batts Hall) Baby of Orfice and Allie Jordan - unknown dates, stillborn. Baby Boy of Hiram and Lillie Duke Patton - there is some discussion about this baby as to whether he is buried in Kiowa or Harper's Valley - it is said that both Lillie and the baby had pneumonia. If anyone should have any further information or note any discrepancies, I am open to any and all comments, this is the cemetery as I walked it several times. in 2001, and i will continue to update it as i am able.
