Springhill Church Cemetery
5295 Sweethome Road
Located generally West of Grenada
I went there to take photos of two Officers in the 3rd Mississippi Cavalry. @Drrock and I had been discussing the 3rd Mississippi Cavalry and our ancestors who served in it. I said I wanted to go see this cemetery and he requested I post photos.
The two officers of the 3rd Mississippi were:
Capt. Robert Hood Turner is buried at Springhill Church in Carroll Co., MS
1st Lt John Thomas DuBard of Yalobusha Co is buried about 20 ft from Capt. Turner.
But----I could not find either of these graves. I found two family plots for the DuBARD family but there was not government headstone for John Thomas DuBard. @Drrock has copies of these two headstones; I will get these and post them later.
Historical marker in front of Springhill Cemetery
One of the first graves, was Pvt Turnipseed of the 3rd Mississippi Cavalry.
I added Forrest's flag for decoration.
Corp. John H. Carter, Company "I" 12 Mississippi Infantry
I thought I could make out one of the soldiers I was searching for--TURNER--- but it was in the HEATH family plots.
James R. Heath, Artificer, and William Heath, both of Standfords Mississippi Light Artillery. Both served from 1862-1865.
Other members of Standfords Battery who are possibly related.
Jesse Heath
T. J. Heath
John Heath
Thomas Brannon, Company "D", 4th Mississippi Regiment
Sgt. Thomas W. Harper, 15th Mississippi Regiment
Thomas Brannon Co. "D" 4th Mississippi Regiment
Unknown. I could not read this marker but it was near the MILLER family plot.
A view of the back of the cemetery, looking at the DuBARD family plot. This cemetery was rather odd as the graves toward the front gate(East side) were facing East but many of the graves in the back of the cemetery were facing WEST.
I never noticed this, however, I visited a modern cemetery and the graves faced the nearest access road. There were 4 roads in that cemetery so the graves faced East, West, East, West, East, West and so forth across the entire plot.
