One daughter (#7 above) Lille Belle' Death Certificate GA BOVS 16247, her mother is noted as deceased by 4 June 1922 having been born in Harris (?) County, GA. signed by father as Robert M Neeley. Robert (Bob states he was born in LaFayette and that she was residing in Troup County and Robert states he resided in LaGrange, Troup County GA. Records indicate she was buried in Glen Township, GA which would be actually Glenn in Heard County, GA. While we are uncertain as to the cemetery, this may be moot in that the TVA built a dam and created a man-made lake which may have flooded the burial sites.

Gravesite Details

Opinion is that since daughter Lille Belle is buried at Glenn, Heard County Georgia, he may well be interned there along with his wife.
