Hi,
I will try to help you find the grave of your sister. I was raised in the Clintwoodarea and so were my parents. Since it is a small community, my mother mayhave know your grandmother Alma. In factas a small child I remember visitingRoy and Hazel Dixon and their children (Doug, Ronnie & Melanie) who lived onLongs Fork (near Clintwood). I wonder if Roy and Alma were siblings. Also, Iremember Ray Dixon. His daughter Connie still lives in the Longs Fork area.She was probably born about 1953/54, so she might know the cemeterywhere your sister is buried if this group of Dixon`s are connected.
Also, I do a lot of Stanley genealogy and there is a Stanley cemetery locatedon a hill between the Longs Fork Elementary School and the AEP buildings. Iwould suspect this is the cemetery in question.However, if your sister did nothave a permanent marker, then it would be difficult to discern her grave.Perhaps your best chance of locating the grave is to find a relative whoattended the funeral and remembers where the grave is located.
Where do you live? I go to Clintwood at least once a month to visit my Momwho lives near Longs Fork. We could plan to meet and I will take you to theStanley cemetery on Longs Fork if that`s not toofar for you to travel.
Hi,
Here`s more info regarding you sister Debbie and burial location. This info wasprovided to me by my Mother.
`The Alma you are asking about was the daughter of Rev. J. E. and SallyDixon. Their daughter`s name was Peggy, who married a Daily and the granddaughter was Debbie. Debbie died very young and is buried in theStanley Cemetery at Longs Fork, along with her grandparents, mother and uncle Ray. I called and talked to Roy and Hazel. Alma and Roy were siblings.`
I hope this will help you. If you need my help again, please contact me.
