Recently, on Mississippi Memories, I wrote about the family of Robert W. Ragland, of Hinds, Attala, and Holmes Counties.  Robert, the son of John W. Ragland and Elizabeth Smith Ragland, is buried in Harland's Creek Cemetery, pictured here.  Also buried in the cemetery are Robert's son, William Turner Ragland, and his wife, Sarah Frances Killebrew Ragland.  Among others buried in this old cemetery near Coxburg, Mississippi, are members of the Able/Ables, Abernathy, Burrell, Callihan, Chisolm, Chunn, Garrard, Harthcock, Hocutt, Killebrew, Robert, Rogers, Stewart, Thrasher, Tidwell, Wilkes, and Winpigler families.

Rosa Lee Killebrew and her brother, Raiford, were born during the marriage of my maternal great-great-grandmother, Susan Elizabeth Coggins Trigleth, to her second husband, Isaac Garrett ("Ike") Killebrew. Interestingly, my maternal grandmother, Rosa Mae Pettus, born to Susan's daughter, Lucy Lula Trigleth, during her first marriage to William Elza Pettus, was named for Lula's half-sister, Rosa Killebrew.
