   This cemetery was located in T-2-N, R-6-E, Sec. 12 on the south side
   of theEbey Ranch.
   A beautifully carved stone was found by Mr. Bill Tinsley. It was lying
   flat on the ground.
   
   Colbert, H.---January 15, 1840-January 26, 1913
   
   This was Humphrey Colbert, son of Winchester Colbert; thus indicating
   that this is the cemetery where Winchester Colbert was buried, because
   the "story" is that Humphrey asked to be buried beside his father. The
   "story" also says that someone bulldozed the tombs off the location
   and poured cement over them.

   County, Mississippi----Fall, 1880.
