October
18, 2003: On October 18, 2003 Mr. Bullard reported
that the name of the cemetery was incorrect. The name originally reported
was Pope- Grey Cemetery. The correct name known to descendents of those
interred there is Pope- Beck Cemetery. Mr. Bullard also reports that the
cemetery is also known as Bullard Cemetery.
