Sandy Bayou Cemetery

Our Thanks to WANDA HENSON CARLTON for this cemetery. Her statement about it is below.
"In the Summer of 1994, my husband, grandchildren and I walked and recorded this cemetery. I recently had an inquiry about it so decided to share it with everyone. A Ms. Lamastus was involved in the clean up and recording of the cemetery at this time, as the interested group was cleaning and repositioning long buried stones. It is my understanding that it was called the 'YELLOW FEVER CEMETERY'. I hope this is of help to someone."

Our thanks also to BERNIECE SCHUBERT for entrusting the original record to Mozelle Chason.
This allowed Mozelle to transcribe and send it to me for posting on the Sunflower County MSGenWeb pages.
