The Georgetown Times, Sept 24, 2004. --- Note: Predeceased children Joyce and James were listed in Bethel United Methodist Cemetery, Georgetown Co., SC, in a list published by The Colonial Dames in 1980. A more-recent on-line list, also published by The Colonial Dames, does not include Joyce and James. Their absence has been explained in a letter from their brother Joseph. "They have always had grave markers, just early on they were made of wood. I remember seeing them as a child and later my Mom and Dad had granite headstones made for them. Before they passed on to Heaven to be with my Brother and Sister they had their graves moved to their new home in Mullins, S.C."
