John Kirk Byrd's obituary:
Mr. John Byrd who lived just over the line in Mississippi, died at Sulligent, Lamar County, Alabama, Saturday from injuries received in a runaway which occurred several days ago. He came over to Sulligent in a wagon and his team becoming frightened ran away. Mr. Byrd fell under the wheels and received injuries which caused his death.
In the 1990's, the "Mississippi Welcomes You" Sign was on the side of the road in front of John Kirk Byrd's property just down from his house toward Detroit, Alabama.

John Kirk Byrd is the son of Thomas T. Byrd/Bird and Sarah "Sady" Downs. He married Elvira Caroline Moore, daughter of William and Alice Moore on December 3, 1846, in Monroe County, Mississippi.
There is a small old cemetery, called the Thompson Cemetery, also called the George Stanford Cemetery, on the property that was owned by William Moore and later his son-in-law, John Kirk Byrd, and there was a tombstone on the far side of the cemetery which was almost covered up with dirt that a farmer had pushed over on it. The tombstone had "E.C. Byrd, Wife of J.K. Byrd", and had her birth and death dates on it. However, some people couldn't make out Elvira's name and thought it was for John Kirk Byrd, and that is what was shown in the cemetery records.
It is possible that John also had a tombstone there, but something had happened to it or it might possibly have been covered up with dirt. A few years after we (GMT) found that tombstone; my dear friend, Terry Thornton advised he had found out that John and Elvira both had tombstones in the Shiloh Cemetery, which is within the perimeter of the Greenhill Hunting Club property, and he would go take pictures for me as soon as hunting season was over because he had to go in a truck through the woods, then unload a 4-wheeler and go the rest of the way on it.
He found John and Elvira's tombstones and took pictures of them for me. Now, descendant John Allman has placed a nice new flat marker (see picture to the right)for John and Elvira in the George Stanford Cemetery, also called Thompson Cemetery, which was on the Byrd property.
John and Elvira lost at least three of their children at a very young age, William, Amanda and Thomas B. Byrd. They may also be buried in the George Stanford Cemetery.
If anyone knows (For Sure) exactly where John Kirk Byrd and Elvira Caroline Moore Byrd are buried, please let me know. One would think they would have been buried in the cemetery on their property but apparently not.
