Thomas Cemetery

Stone County, Mississippi

This cemetery transcription and presentation is dedicated to the memory of Terry Wayne Lee, son of Benjamin Franklin Lee, Jr. and Eunice G. Thomas, who died June 30, 2005. A year before his untimely death I met Terry at a local catfish house. When I explained that I could not find this cemetery, he offered to take me there himself.

The Thomas Cemetery is located in the northwest corner of Stone County, Mississippi. Indeed, one must travel north into Forrest County in order to drive back south into Stone County in order to reach the cemetery. To find this cemetery from Wiggins, MS, drive 9 miles west on Project Road which turns into Carnes Road when you cross into Forrest County. Turn left on Red Creek Road. Drive 2.4 miles and then turn left on Hurricane Creek Road. Drive 0.8 miles on Hurricane Creek Road (passing Thomas Road) and make a hard left turn onto Roberts Road shortly before Hurricane Creek Road winds to the right. The cemetery is near the end of Roberts Road on the left.

On June 27, 2004 Howard Baulch visited this cemetery and took photos of the tombstones. Howard's great-great-grandparents, John Riley Lee and Arsenith H. Seale, are buried here. They are 3rd great-grandparents to Terry, and Terry's grandparents, Biser R. Thomas and Winnie Robert Wyers, and his great-grandparents, John E. Alexander Thomas and Missouri Agnes Dale, are also buried here, The transcriptions and tombstone photos are presented below. Comments in parentheses are not on the tombstone and are additional information offered by the author.
