ALAQUAH CEMETARY, STEELE CHURCH, MAGNOLIA CEMETARY

ALL OF DADDY'S SIBLINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY, BUT I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE SOME COUSINS STILL IN DEFUNIAK. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IN THE PHONE BOOK, I COULDN'T FIND ANY HAMILTONS. I KNEW I WANTED TO GO TO WHERE MY GRANDPARENTS ARE BURIED, ALL I COULD REMEMBER WAS IT WAS A SMALL CHURCH CEMETARY OUT OF TOWN. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND ALAQUAH CEMETARY AND STEELE CHURCH. THAT'S WHERE THEY WERE AND SOME OF DADDY'S SIBLINGS.

I WAS SURPRISED IT WAS A METHODIST CHURCH! I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL BAPTISTS!

 IT'S A PRETTY LITTLE CHURCH, THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE AS A CHILD, I REMEMBER IT BEING IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE. LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE FIXED IT UP AND TAKEN CARE OF IT OVER THE YEARS.

THE ALAQUAH CEMETARY IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

I FOUND MY RELATIVES RIGHT AWAY.

THE WHOLE HAMILTON PLOT.

MY GRANDMOTHER. I NEVER KNEW HER, SHE DIED BEFORE I WAS BORN.

MY GRANDFATHER. I  ONLY HAVE ONE MEMORY OF HIM AND THAT WAS HIM WORKING IN HIS GARDEN. THEY HAD 5 BOYS AND 5 GIRLS.

HOWARD WAS ONE OF MY DAD'S BROTHERS.

AND LES

THESE ARE  THE TWO BROTHERS I REMEMBER....I DON'T REMEMBER HIS OTHER TWO BROTHERS AT ALL.....IRA AND ROY.
