Carr Family History  >>  The Carr/Greer Family Cemetery

tombstoneIn his 1913 will, Hugh Carr reserved a quarter acre plot next to the house as a graveyard for his descendants. Marked headstones list Hugh Carr, his second wife Texie Mae Hawkins, their son Marshall Carr, daughter Mary Carr Greer and her husband Conly Greer.

Besides the marked headstones, there are 8-10 unmarked graves as well as two field stones that are reminiscent of West African burial markers. Research on these graves is ongoing.
