Note: At the foot of this grave is another marker which reads: 'Phillip Tuck 1871 - 1941" I do not know if they are the same person or not. TUCK, LEWIS G. - Aug. 14, 1867 - Jan. 19, 1939. TUCK, LAURA BELL TODD - Wife of L. G. Tuck. Born June 30, 1871 - died Feb. 27, 1911. Though lost to sight, to memory dear. TUCK, LERA MURRELL - Dau. of L. G. & L. B. Tuck.

Born Jan. 3, 1892 - died June 21, 1894. Suffer little children to come unto me. DEDMAN CEMETERY (25) LOCATION: Sec. 29-2S-2W. E/2 E/2 SE NE. On Wall Highway. KNOX, ROBERT - Robert, son of Walter & Mary E. Knox. Born Feb. 19, 1906, died April 15, 1907. Asleep in Jesus. Note: Wall Highway curves slightly around this cemetery which is known in the community as the Dedman Cemetery. Some of the residents recall attending grave-side funeral services here many years ago. This cemetery has been all but destroyed in recent years and one lady saw a certain individual actually take headstones from this cemetery. Attempts to find what was done with the stones have been without success. It is certain that members of the Dedman family are buried here but I have no record of which ones. The tiny tombstone of Robert Knox, above, is the only stone left. Those individuals responsible for the destruction of this cemetery evidently overlooked this tiny stone or thought it too small to bother with! The people living directly across the road were not aware this was a cemetery. 149 - (367)
