Foster - May - Sidebottom Cemetery

I originally first heard about this cemetery from a distant cousin of mine.   She had gotten a copy from where the school kids had gone to the cemetery and made a transcription of the tombstones.  Since then myself and another cousin have actually visited the cemetery and looked around.  Boy was it in bad shape.   Hopefully we can get down there and clean it up.

Directions on how to get there.  From Greensburg on US-61 go North 5 miles to Summersville.  Go through the flashing light in Summersville.  Start looking for a road by the name of Doc Ward Road on the left.  Turn left on Doc Ward Rd, go back this road to George Milby Rd turn left.  Go to the end of this road, there will be 2 houses.  You will need to ask one of the people that live in either house for directions and permission to get back there.  The cemetery is off the road quite a ways and there are a couple cow pastures that you will have to cross.
