Transcription of Straughn Cemetery Transcription Done by Michelle Kasparik |
Notes from Michele Kasparik regarding this transcription: "I've attached a listing that I compiled based on the pictures that I took. I hope I got pictures of all the headstones, but I've got two separate transcriptions by others that show 9 headstones; I recorded 11. Pinkney Jr. is recorded as being buried in this cemetery, but I don't have a photo of his headstone. Some of the stones (Particulary Pinkney Sr. and Mary J.) had data that was impossible to read.
