Nelia was the ancestor of Waightstill Hartley and Reverand James A Love, two famous pioneering families of the South. Nelia was married two times. Her first was an unfortuitous match with Lloyd BRobinson who killed himself and a lover in 1914, her second was to John P Wilkinson. I remember her Civil War stories that she would recite. She gave my mother and myself the love of history and ancestry. I remember how my mother grieved on the day she died because she was much closer to granny than she was to her own mother. She was interned at this cemetary on July 1 1972.
