"I have a list of names sent to me by a cousin, Juanita Massey McClintick, who said the
list was given to her by her father, William Randolph Massey. He told her all these folks were
buried in the Massey Hill Family Cemetery, which is a private family cemetery adjacent to
the Massey Hill Baptist Church on Southern Avenue.  There are only two tombstones visible - those 
of William Henry Massey and his wife Holland Powers Massey.  They are located on the north side of 
the church, surrounded by a block and pipe fence.  There are at least three unmarked graves, two 
within the enclosure and a third partially inside it and partially outside it (the back of the 
block/pipe fence bisects it).  There has been some question about what happened to all of these graves.  
None of them has been found relocated in other cemeteries, except Susan Massey Mitchell, who was 
reinterred in Cross Creek Cemetery #2, Block 22, with her husband and several young children. Note: Only 
two graves currently have tombstones. 

Elaine's message is a great example of why we should share our cemetery knowledge with others. 
It is sad to say that grave markers are disappearing everyday. Let's not allow the location of a 
family member's final resting place to be forgotton, simply because there is no longer a marker 
there. Tell someone. Thanks, Myrtle.
