Unknown memorial stone in the Alex & Mary A. McCollum grave lots. Top probably fell into grave sink and is below the surface 9340/9344
Unknown carved stone with no inscription in the Alex McCollum Lots: 9343

*This stone seems to be for William the son of Mary & A.J. McCollum, but it is not a 1923 version stone, more in line with what was used in the 1870-1890 era, but maybe it was reused.

When I approached this cemetery the wind was howling at about 25-40 MPH in the tops of those giant Oak & Hackberry Trees. I had just came from the Derrick Cemetery whereby the progenitor William Derrick had died when a tree fell on him. Now knowing that limbs fall off trees all the time in high winds I was a little leery of the situation. The wind continued howling thru the tops of the trees and making very ominous and scary sounds to a lone visitor. However, I barged ahead with the survey, but kept an alert ear for the sharp cracking sound made when a giant limb breaks away from a tree. I had hopes that I could run upwind & away from the sound to avoid catastrophe. Yes I had all that figured out, but in the end did not need it. Nevertheless I would not advise anyone to be in this cemetery in stormy weather.
