Directions:
It's off of Raymond Rd., about 3 or 4 streets west of Siwell Rd. It's in
the middle of a field at the end of a cul-desac NORTH of Raymond Rd.[you'd turn
right anyway going toward Raymond, Ms.]

This is a partial list, only 11 names given to me, I was told there were 13 buried there.
1 grave had been vandalized! My GGG Grandmother is not on this list, could be buried there?
The elsest living Lawson son was alive living in Rankin Co., Ms. at time of her death, he could quite
possibly have taken her body to his area and buried her there?
