Back to Hillcrest Cemetery - M Listings
According to the granddaughter of Benjamin Levi McPhetridge, Janet Kelly
crkelly2@worldnet.att.net who lives in Mississippi, her grandfather is
buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in an unmarked grave, not her grandmother.
She says the courthouse records show her grandmother buried here, but it
should be her grandfather. She also found a newspaper account of Benjamin
McPhetridge being killed by a train in 1913. As noted below, her
grandmother went on to remarry in 1915, and had four more children,
including Janet Kelly's father.
