Update!! November 10, 2004 By Charlie Gregory
This cemetery is in a very poor condition and i was thinking maybe we should try and save it!
On this date John Waggoner Jr. Retta Waggoner and Charlie Gregory went to do some digging
and made two discoveries. The Stone above belonged to J. J. Gregory which can clearly be
seen in the following photo. Being totaly satisfied with that discovery we began a search
for the stone of Letha looking close to the James J. Gregory stone but it wasn't there.
As we prepared to leave i walked out a bit and noticed where a horse had scared a stone.
On closer inspection it was the stone of Letha Gregory and only by luck were we sucessful
in finding it or was it divine intervention i feel it was !
If you have an interest in trying to save this cemetery please contact me and lets see what
we can do. It may be to late but if you relate to this family this may be a project we
might want to consider... Comments to Charlie Gregory

Notice skid marks on bottom of stone which drew my attention through the grass!
Top Of stone almost buried after 2 years!

As you can see we half unburied the stone but roots were all around it and
fearing damage to the stone we stopped digging at this point!

Her Epitaph reads :
"Her spirit smiles from that bright shore,
And Softly whispers weep no more."
