Of course, the name Parmer should be Palmer; Chatham should be Chatom, Date of death is 02/28/1950 There are at least two unmarked Phillips graves in this cemetery close to Laura now and believe one to be Wiley and the other possibly Hattie. The H M is Houston M Phillips and W M is William M Phillips, C J is possibly Claiborne Jasper Phillips whose mother was Hattie Davis Phillips.
