Thomas Geather Entrekin Family Bible, family pages; Bible held by Rev. Norman Hilton Entrekin (now deceased, current whereabouts unknown), Purvis, MS, 1991. Rev. Entrekin's widow provided a transcription of the Bible pages but could not say which family member had taken the Bible after his death. The transcription had been done approximately 10 years before when the family was putting together their history.

Leonard L. Slade Sr., compiler, Lamar County Heritage (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1978), 237: I spoke to Mr. Slade several times before he died in 2007 at age 83. Leonard has been a researcher since the late 1940s. He spoke with people that would have had first hand knowledge of the burials in this cemetery. He also found old cemetery surveys at the Lamar County Courthouse in the early 1970s which recorded the burials in this cemetery. Those surveys no longer exist per the courthouse.
