The first cemetery we visited was the Bryant Cemetery in Bryant Arkansas.
This was the sign at the entrance.





This is where most of my Grandma Chenualt's people are buried.
Her full name is
Evelyn Margaret Edmonson Holiman Chenault.

This is a picture of Grandma(far right) with Mama, Leslie and me on Leslie's Wedding Day, November 5, 2005.




This is my Grandmother's Father, Morgan Edward Edmonson
