Location:
This cemetery is located down the camp ground road 223 at Bear Creek.
This listing was compiled by Mary Anderson with the help of notes
from Willie Mae Knight Higgins Whiteside and Cleola Higgins Anderson Clarke and
submitted on April 28, 2004. Margaret Ann Nichols added the names of
both of her sons, Dixie III & Daniel Higgins, on May 9, 2006. I combined Mary’s list with notes
that I had taken at the cemetery several years ago and added that information
on June 26, 2006. George Edward
& Vinie Higgins are my great-great grandparents, so this cemetery is very
meaningful to me personally. If you
have any further information about this cemetery, please contact me. by Paige Achord
If
you know of anyone else buried here, and would like to add their name, please contact me. The information presented is as correct
as possible, however you may want to verify its accurateness.
