HARRIS CEMETERY

Notes and census by:Mary Ann Strickland Grainger

 I visited this small family cemetery with my father, Carter Bartly Strickland, several years ago, where he showed me his cousin's grave. The cemetery was on a flat of a hill near Walter Wilkerson's place. We took a road in front of Pat Wilkerson's place - west. I am not even sure whether it was in Walker or Fayette Co., AL, but I think it was in Kansas, Walker County. The graves were:

NAME	BIRTH DATE	DEATH DATE	NOTATIONS
Rev. T. M. Harris	September 29, 1833	September 26, 1902
Adeline Harris	June 14, 1849	April 1922	w/o of Rev. T. M. Harris
Celia E. Harris	September 2, 1896	March 29, 1925	Celia Emaline Aldridge, s/o Parks Minard Harris
Royce Harris	February 27, 1920	January 7, 1922

There were no more graves than those four.

Note: Celia Emanline Aldridge was a daughter of James Willis Aldridge and Frances Elizabeth Strickland. She died in childbirth with the birth of her daughter, Edna Elmmaline Harris, who was adopted by Griffith Houston Johnson, her mother's second cousin.

I think I recall that there was a child of Celia's buried there:

Parks Minard Harris, remarried and is buried with second wife somewhere else. He had other children by first wife, Celia; e.i., Albert, Lorene, and Cleburn Harris; but I have no further information on them or where they were buried.
