Note from Barbara Jordan of Rockport: I was researching my family members and found that they are not identified in the Smith cemetery.There is one listed on a rock as BA.That would be Beulah Austin my Grandmother.She is right next to my Mother Elsie Little.I know that the year of her death was 1926. My Grandfather Willie G Austin is also buried there.He is probably one of the unidentified ones over by the fence. He died sometime in the 40s.

*Notes: The Death Certificate of W.T. Newsom states he was buried in Bergheim Cemetery. He may be the on listed with only initials, NUS-M
  For Fannie Mathews Stewart the tombstone says she died in 1928 but Death Certificate says 1929 in two places.
