Burial Place of The Meeks & Larimores

In the volumes of At The Feet Of Jesus and Letters & Sermons Of T.B. Larimore Vol.2 are mentioned the lives of T.B.'s mother, Nancy Larimore and the father-in-law of his sister, Mollie Larimore Meeks, who was Gen. John H. Meeks. They were both faithful members of the body of Christ and played an important role in the works of T.B. Larimore and R.P. Meeks and countless others. They are buried at the back of the cemetery together with others of J.H. Meeks sons, one of which, John, fought in the Civil War battle at Shiloh and later on in the war, died.
