 COOKSON-PROCTOR CEMETERY

Picture furnished by Brenda S. Franklin and the following statement
as well as all the below listed information.

"None of these people are my relatives.  Kind of a funny story about me listing this cemetery.  I went down to the Cookson area to hook up
with a very distant relative for a family reunion...come to find out I had my dates wrong, and none of the people were there that weekend, so I photographed this cemetery.  I didn't see a posting on the cemetery page for that county.  I think there is a lot of history in this cemetery.  I have heard it was the Ballew cemetery until about the 1940's when the lake went in, and some of the graves from other cemeteries were relocated to this cemetery.  The Proctor section may be most of the relocated.  The back section of this cemetery is the oldest.  There are probably over 200 unknown, and unreadable markers.  The front section, or newer section is the community section."
