Little Vine a.k.a. Big Opening cemetery

Little Vine a.k.a. Big Opening cemetery.

The cemetery was surveyed within the last decade or so and the info is available as part of the New Madrid Co. cemetery listings.
I took notes from the tombstones that we were able to access during our visit there. Thomas Enterprises

We are still interested in working to get the cemetery cleaned up before the Spring of '99 when the new growth comes on. As I've mentioned before, this cemetery should be of interest to anyone who's ancestors lived in western Mississippi county, northeast New Madrid or southern Scott counties.

NOTE FROM THOMAS:
I would like everyone to know that I have since found out that the cemetery was surveyed and transcribed for the 1980's New Madrid Co. cemetery book compiled by Jane Vann and Vera Ashley. There should be a complete tombstone inscription listing in that publication.
