*Aletha Martin Martin was my great great grandmother.  She married Lindsey Martin.  They were both great grandchildren of William Martin and Susannah Meador.  Aletha was the daughter of Richard Martin and Winnie Sizemore Martin. 
 *Five of Richard and Winnie Martin's eight children are buried in this cemetery - Aletha, George, Susan, Geneva and Elizabeth, two of their children are in the cemetery above - Rhoda and Rebecca and their other daughter is Mary and I'm not sure where she is buried.  Also, Rhoda and Elizabeth were sisters who married brothers - Rhoda married Wilse Hayes and Elizabeth married Lacy Hayes.  They were sons of John Hayes and Mahala Martin.
