EASLEY CEMETERY - WECHES
In 1985, due to weather and other work this cemetery was not surveyed. Private property not open to the public. Names of some of the families known to live there: Land, Skinner, Moore, Carter, Mumphries, Watson.
UPDATE TO EASLEY CEMETERY: This cemetery and the old Easley Community (a black cemetery and community) can be reached by taking SH21 east of Crockett and Weches ... just before you reach the "old Pepper Tree" there is a dirt road that turns right. A short distance down that road the community of Easley was located. The old cemetery is on the east side of a fence line. The cemetery can also be reached by walking into the woods almost directly behind the "Pepper Tree". Walk the east side of the fence line and it is a short distance into the woods.
On July 12, 2008, Ross Richardson, Jr., found this cemetery. He reports there are several old cemetery markers that are unreadable, locations marked only by rocks and two readable headstones. There are probably many more he could not see that are under many years of limbs and pine straw. He made the following pictures and submitted them. PHOTO's Submitted by: Ross Richardson, Jr.
