Good news! Just found the original typed pages by Will E. Parham about the Bakers Creek Cemetery in our basement files. Since Parham surveyed the cemetery in 1930, this should be very helpful. He noted stones that were disintegrating almost 90 years ago so these stone will not be readable now. Parham typed up five pages of information.
There will be a chart in the next journal (Fall 2018) that will have this information. At least one cemetery listing is noted where the husband's stone is not located near the wife's stone and Parham attempted to describe the location of the wife's stone. I am still in the process of compiling the information and have not yet compared the Parham listing to the current listings. Even if there are no new dates given, I have made every effort to present the information exactly as written in Parham's notes while creating an easy to use index. This will include all of his notes and observations made of the cemetery in the 1930s. My effort will be rewarded if just one person gets some new information to do their family research.
