Joiner - Lacey Cemetery, 89-2 Summary Report, page 14
Notes (below) found in the Army files and provided to John Rankin by Beverly Curry show statements of other burials:
TIMMONS CEMETERY
[Taken from a 1952 file. At top of page is written “Whitman, Requardt & Smith”. Centered heading: Report on Graves??"Colored Cemeteries]
Maria Elle Timmons, 1937
Lottie Timmons, 1936
Shelby Timmons, 1924
Homer
Walls, 1926
Joe Walker, 1940
Vernal Robinson, 1938
Aaron Tate, 1941
[Could the above list be for black burials in the apron of the Timmons Cemetery, or perhaps for the burials at the nearby Joiner - Lacey Cemetery (89-2), which was used by the slaves of the Timmons family and possibly referred to as being the “Timmons Black Cemetery”? It may be that the name at the top of this note is incorrect, or it could explain who is buried in the apron area of the Timmons Cemetery, 89-1. -- -- JPR]
Grace Joiner, 1922
Grave with marker gone
Claudia Joiner, 1924
Marble headstone and
Footstone
Group enclosed in fenced plot
Davis Joiner
(see Andy Joiner for names around this plot) [Could “Claudia” perhaps actually be “Claudie”, per the tombstone? The date of death matches for Claudie. If these names are for the Joiner -Lacey Cemetery burials, then perhaps the whole page of notes applies to that cemetery. -- JPR]
About 40 unmarked and/or sunken graves clearly visible
