My great (maybe) six great grandfather, Littleton Riggins is buried there. I found the dirt road, but no signs or logging road. If you can give me some other help, can you email me at patientpattie@aol.com. I would really appreciate the help. Thank you.

I have been tryin to get something done about another family cemetery that is lost in the woods off cr 339 just a few miles south of this cemetery. I believe they are related to those of this cemetery. I live in central Florida and would be willing to travel or help to restore this cemetery as well. Do you have any advice on how I could do this.

Julia Cleckler and I had a nice conversation today with Mr. Raymond Oden and went out to visit the Old Raspberry Cemetery. It's within walking distance of my house. I must say I didn't even recognize it. It looks so much better. And your restoration of the broken headstones - unbelievable. I didn't know that could be done. Anyway, I have some kin folks buried there as well, and wanted you to know that you did a phenomenal job. Let me know if I can do anything to help with your cemetery restorations around the Maplesville/Isabella. John H.
