Barb,I did some checking with the care taker of Beale years ago plus alot of my family is buried there in the old and new section,From what all I have been told alot of cemeteries were moved there and not any of the people who even with proof of them being buried in these cems has shown up at Beale as they were supose to.I was told many years ago by a worker from Beale that alot of the stones were just lined up across the back of the fence at Beale.I saw this myself even when I was very young and before starting genealogy,So I know he was speaking the truth,After I did start genealogy I went to search these stones,but most dates and names were unreadable and alot of the stones that were there were missing,Even if the stones fell over or broke,why wasnt the grave recorded or there?,Also another researcher I know very well was hunting for the Mayes/Maze/Mayse cemetery that at one time was close to the goodyear tire plant,When the plant was built,Again we were told it was moved to Beale Chapel,But none who were buried in this cem were at Beale as we were told either,Makes you wonder if what happened at Pleasant Ridge didnt also happen at Beale,People were being buried on top of where other people were suposedly buried,My mother and I went in 1970's to see her baby brother's grave, He was buried at Pleasant Ridge,Sometime around 1912,But a new grave was where it should have been,That is when we talked to the care taker there,He said they had buried people on top of people,So we never were able to find him again.I also tried several times to contact anyone from Beale to get a cemetery reading.But no one was willing to talk about it.But I dont think none of the graves that were said to have been moved to Beale ever really got moved,if they did it was just the headstones and they were never put on a grave as they should have been,So we most likely won't ever fine them now,Contact me I had my email changed,its fredandlois@localnet.com Lois
