Shelby Cemetery Lookup Request

Whitfield Dupree McCullough and his daughter Clara McMullen are buried in Shelby Cemetery. The listing I found was in an old book,so I though maybe Whitfield's wife, Georgia McCullough had died and been buried there since the book was published. Can anyone help me with this request?

Thank you. I appreciate very much your help. The book I mentioned is at the DAR Libary in Washington, D.C. It may not have even been published, but perhaps was a private submission.

Here's the information I was sent. I don't have the Shelby Cemetery online yet, but have a friend who's caretaker of the records. He sent this:

W. D. McCullough, b 1-21-1860 d 3-1--1917, notation on stone "At Rest"

Pratt McMullen, b 6-5-1875 d 12-10-1955, notation on stone "Father"

B. E. McMullen, b 5-12-09 d 2-21-47, notation on stone "Pat"

Clara Mai McMullen, b1890 d 1933, notation on stone "Mother"

They are buried in Block 35, plots 6, 8, 9, and 10, respectively. They are located in the middle front of the cemetery, a few yards off Hwy 32. There is a notation in the cemetery book that A. M. McMullen, Meridian, is the heir to the remaining plots. Also buried in this block is Hugh Buckley Rose and Julia Murphree Rose. I believe Julia was previosly married to a McMullen

Thank you for checking. Pratt & B. E. McMullen were not on the listing I saw, so it evidently predated 1947. I was hoping W.D.'s wife, Georgia Hawkins McCullough (Clara Mai McMullen's mother), was buried beside her husband. I last found her living in NJ in 1930 with her son. She apparently died and was buried there. She was my g-g-grandmother's sister.
