Bio and Links
My name is Georgia Lynn Waldrip Paul. My husband and I retired almost 4 years ago and moved to a farm where my grand mother, as well as my father grew up. My brother and I share a little over 200 acres.

We have 3 family cemeteries in our area. 2 in Lafayette County and 1 in Panola County. The Langston Cemetery is just across the road from where we live. The Waldrip Cemetery is about 5 miles from me on the Old Waldrip Farm, which is still in the family. The other one in Panola County, at Glenville Primitive Baptist Church.

The Waldrip Cemetery is maintained by the family that owns the farm. It has a concret wall around the family graves.

I haven't been to the Glenville Cemetery for several months. The last time I was there the gates were locked, but it looked as if it was at least having the grass cut regularly.

RE: Russell Dean's Family
Cousin!

I am Hardy Dean Gillespie, the son of Russell Hardy Dean Gillespie, son of Helen Leslie Dean, daughter of Russell Hardy Dean, brother of your ancestor, Robert Aaron Dean.

Yes. I have other photos of the Dean and Myers (Mary Gray Myers became Mrs. Russell Hardy Dean) family from what they referred to as the 'Dean family album'. Will share those of interest. Added one of your ancestor at Find a Grave this morning. Sorry for the damage that the years had done to his photo. You might be able to improve it with a photoshop type software, but I never risk cleaning original prints. Thought it risky enough just taking it out of the album to scan it.

My interest in genealogy ebbs and flows. Have a bunch of information that may be of interest to you, but I haven't done much with it lately so it may take me a while to get fully immersed in it again. Please bear with me if your interest is on top of the wave as mine has been on the bottom of late.

Hardy

RE: Maj. Dean
You should add the marker transcription for Maj. Dean on the memorial. That way anyone doing a search will have a greater chance of finding information about him and the units he served with.

RE: Lurlene & Herman Carothers
We aren't related. I just happened to see the photo request a few days ago and the cemetery is not far from where we live. I have several relatives there myself so took the opportunity to visit them as well.

RE: Marker Photo
Lynn, I'm not sure...I usually take several hundred with each trip to the cemetery; if I don't have it in this batch, rest assured, I WILL get it for you! Thanks for allowing me to put Mr. Haywood's pix on his site. Take care, Martha

Durley siblings
I believe I have made all the links you requested for the four Durley children of Madora and William Elijah.

Thanks,

RE: Tyro Cemetery
Tyro Cemetery is in Tate County. I added records for your aunt Bettie Dean and her husband.

Thaks,

RE: Tyro Cemetery
I started adding the entries for Tyro Cemetery that are listed in the Footprints in Time book. I'm not finished, but I believe I have added all Durleys and Waldrips that were transcribed at the time this book was compiled in the late 70's/early 80's.

Thanks,
Deb

RE: Tyro Cemetery
I looked at the Footprints in Time book that I have, and I haven't entered any of the Tyro burials. If you have specific name information, I could look to see if they are there, and I will add those records. Over the winter I plan to add many more records from this book.

Thanks,
Deb
