Yes, I live just about 1 mile west of Country Line on the Lockesburg highway. I may be wrong, but I think Arthur and Fannie Ray are buried in Country line Cemetery too.

I remember them quite well, I remember Arthur drove an old red Ford truck and always smoked a pipe. I can still imagines the smell of his pipe when he would come into our store, to me it always smelled very good.

I'll try to get over there when their New Years gets back to normal and see what dates be on their tombstone and see if they're buried close to J.B. Ray and Nancy Ray.

It seems like probably the man I remember talking to my father many years ago about the Dossey family and having just come from that Cemetery might of had been kin to you. I remember that he talked about their family and mentioned several family member who my father had know all of his life. wish I could remember more about his conversation, it might be helpful.

Let me ask you a bit about this name that you mentioned, Willie Dossey Graves. My father had some kin by the name of Graves, His Aunt Mammie Graves raised him from about the age of 2 when his mother died. I can't recall her husbands name, Barney comes to my mind but could surely be wrong, I recall hearing the name Uncle Barney many times when I was growing up but he had already died. I just remember Aunt Mammie as being a widow and never saw her husband. She lived west of the Blue Bayou in an old large house, them just west of the old store that use to set on the left side of the road down past it the creek. Claude Graves who lived across the road from her was her son, my fathers cousin, Claude's wife was named Annie.

My grandfather Harvey Smith donated the land where the Blue Bayou Church of Christ sets on many years ago according to my 1st cousin, said he had came across some papers on that.

May God Bless,
Jerry
