Whiteside Grave(s) is located on CR 4759 south of US 84. From the 
intersection of US 59 South and US 84 West on the south side of Timpson, 
go west on US 84 for 1.8 miles to the second intersection with FM 1970. 
Turn left (south) on FM 1970. Go 2.1 miles to the end of FM 1970.  Turn 
to your left on the dirt county road (CR 4759).  Follow this road, taking 
the right hand fork, 0.2 miles. The grave(s) is located on your right in 
a small fenced area on private property.
There are two graves enclosed by a woven wire fence which covers an area 
about 9 feet wide and 10 feet long.  The fence is about six feet tall, 
one corner has been mashed down, and is supported by 5 metal post which 
extend about 6 feet above the ground.  There are several trees and many 
vines inside the fence. The marker for Nancy is in very good condition 
and easy to read.  The marker for the child was in very poor condition.  
There were verses at the bottom of the stone which appeared sharp, but I 
was not able to read them due to poor light.  All of the personal 
information had been effaced.  We felt we could make out one date which 
may have been Nov. 1840.
