Harland's Creek Cemetery
Holmes County, Mississippi

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.

Mrs. B. J. Burrell

The inscription on the gravestone of Mrs. B. J. Burrell states simply, "At Rest." Born on April 7, 1862, the wife of O. R. Burrell died on September 23 1923. Mrs. Burrell is buried in the Good Hope Baptist Church Cemetery near Camden.
