Address Below In recent years,
donations for the maintence of the cemetery have
fallen to nearly none. Only two or three kind
souls send or give funds for maintence work (gravel
on the road, fence repair, etc) and mowing (done by
Charles Bolt - ie: Dad). This spring, Dad had
eight tons of gravel put on the road to partly fill
in the deep ruts in it, which cost $195.00. It
could have used more but..., This year, the funds
to mow the cemetery will probably run out. If you want to mail a
little something, our address is If you are
interested, Roger Bing, who lives two houses down
the road from us (same road name) does mowing on the
Vaughn-Mills Cemetery, behind the Mills Cemetery. NEW ITEM!!!  DadSittingOnStone

 April 4, 2012 This
afternoon was nicely sunny then some clouds moved in
while we were out at the cemetery.
So this new photo looks a bit drear, but it wasn't, really. I'm still work gradually on adding some photos to this site. Usually more photos in the spring than later. Gets busy later..., I haven't yet made many things for the Fair. Getting a late start on the garden. A distant consin photographed all the stones in the cemetery a couple of years ago. You can find the pictures on <http://findagrave.com> Joann Wallace (nee
Mills) unearthed the fact that the first
L. S. is indeed buried
in the Mills Cemetery, but alas!, the grave is probably one of the unmarked fieldstone graves up near the center of the cemetery. And his name, I think, was Louis Stokes Ferguson, not Mills. Nearby to his relative L. S. Mills, Nancy Rebecca's second husband, who is buried nearby. If you can trace any members of your family who have been buried in the Mills Cemetery, please write me so I can make a listing of them. Especially those whose stones are field stones. There are also a couple of collections of old family photos on Facebook that have got underway in the past year or so. Eventually, I will get links to them on here. If, by some chance, you are interested in what I am weaving nowadays, here is a link to my Facebook page. website and Etsy page: http://www.facebook.com/CyndiTheWeaver http://cynditheweaver.com http://www.etsy.com/shop/cynditheweaver And a link to our church's page: http://www.facebook.com/EastLynnBaptist Cyndi Bolt - - -

- - - Ha! Ha! I have fooled myself. I made a nice new page of old images I took of the Old House (Nancy Rebecca's house) and forgot to upload the page and images. Unless I've named them wrong and lost them..., So here is the link to the new page with boocoos of old pictures! April 4, 2012 Today, Dad and I checked out the cemetery. An unknown being has already mowed some in the front - that looks good. The rest is growing but not too bad yet. It looks like May out there! Dad has some plans to work on mowing a bit later this month. Roger Bing (I think) mowed the back cemetery (Vaughn-Mills). |
