These dozen or so graves in the
McCally Cemetery appear to be infants or small children. Names on the stones are Hook,
Armstrong and Harding. This gives us an idea of the rate of infant mortality in times
past. (Photo by William Florence) |

Phyllis Harrell has sent us an
undated picture of Heselton Baptist Church near Glen Springs and a group of people who
were probably attending some program there. We have concluded that, considering the way
the people are dressed, it would have been taken in the 1920s or 1930s. An interesting
feature of this photo is that several people are holding umbrellas and at the far right is
somebody's white dog with only the derriere of the dog shown. |

The graves of Elder T.P. Degman

The Peter Taylor Chapel as it appeared
some time in the 1930s. The church building incorporated some unusual architectural
features and it was in very good condition when it was razed. Among the famlies buried
there were Stouts, Hillearys, Henrys and others. (Photo provided by Doris Thomas
