Horton - Joiner Cemetery, 87-1 Summary Report, page 15
the colored cemetery were Jim Turner, Aaron Tate and Joe Walker. Also LW's mother. LW was two years old when her mother died, so that means her mother was buried there about a hundred years ago, Since LW was 99 when I interviewed her over two years ago. Timmons (colored cemetery) was "higher up" (from the river) than the Jacobs cemetery.
After WWI, Claudie and Percy Joiner bought some Timmons land, near the big house. Lonnie Wilson owned the Timmons house when Lizzie left the arsenal. He came from across the river on the other side from Leeman's ferry. Hardin School was the schoolhouse for that locality.
There is much additional data of the Horton and Joiner families and their neighbors on the CD-ROM provided to the Army offices for this cemetery. To illustrate some of the more unusual types of information collected in that file, consider the tax list records below, which show particular details of exactly where the people lived and about their possessions:
