Fanny Evans Burgess Really not sure what the name of this cemetery is because very little is known about it. Listed below is the story that we received from Ruth & Twila Hesse while transcribing this cemetery. "Myrtle Burgess recalls her mother, Fanny Evans Burgess, telling her that Fanny's little sister was buried here. Susie Bergeson, also a granddaughter of John Evans, tells us the little girl was 6 or 7 yrs old. Called Emma and died of Flux. Slaves & Soldiers could have been buried here." Carter Beverly owned this farm of almost 2,000 acres and left from here. The farm was sold for taxes ($7.00) to a Fisher from Hardy County. The cemetery is located in a meadow covered with very tall grass and this part is now owned by Roscoe Cook heirs. |
