From S.C. Turnbo's writing:
Teaf married Sarah Ann Milum a sister of Huldah wife of his brother Hugh. He died many years ago. Robert married Susan Lantz daughter of Mose Lantz. Robert died in December 1856 and his remains rest on the old farm. Jane married Lewis R. Pumphrey. She and her sister Betsey died at Lead Hill, Ark. and are both buried in the cemetery there. While we are writing this scketch of the Magness family we will mention a few other names that received Interment in the grave yard on the old Joe Magness farm. Among them is "Hutch" Duggins son of Alex and Betsey Duggins the first settlers at the mouth of Big Creek. "Hutch" died of acute rheumatism which contracted his body and limbs in such form that the family were compelled to bury him in a square box. Among the children who are buried here is Mary Ann daughter of Wilshire Magness. Five children of Robert Case Bolet who settled on Big Creek in the early forties also rest here. The names of three of them are Julia, Annis and Elizabeth. A number of years ago the head stones in this grave yard was taken up and the land put into cultivation which made it impossible to distinguish the graves apart. To prevent further desecration of this old time burial ground Lewis Pumphrey and his son-in-law T. R. (Ross) Cantrel bought the land and the molesting of the departed dead were discontinued at once. It is our duty to show respect for the dead and never violate their resting place. We truly hope that it is not the intention of anyone to disturb a cemetery because the pioneer settlers seen fit to select the best plots of ground in which to put away their dead friends and relative. As refered to in another sketch this grave yard dates back to the year 1822.
