Calihill (Teck) Reed the son of Amos S. Reed and Permelia (Milly) Chaffin. It is said that Teck made his own headstone as well as his wife's and stored them under the porch until they were needed. His daughter Millie is buried on Duncan ( Martin) Hill cemetery and also has a home-made stone I assume Teck made as well. He was buried on his own land. His wife as well.

There is a third stone there I think is another grave. But his immediate family says no it isn't. I recently 9/8/14 heard from his great nephew there was a child of Teck and Lizzie's buried there as well and he heard that from a neighbor down the hill below where Teck lived. He say's we'll never know for sure. He had gone there years ago and spoke with that neighbor. He knew Teck as a young boy when he and his father Creed would visit Teck and Lizzie.

People also confuse Teck with a nephew named after him. Calihill (Cally) also went by a nickname "Texas". Cally is the s/o Charles Dillard Reed. Charles Dillard is brother to Teck.
