I did the registry of this little Chickasaw Indian family cemetery in December of 1999. It is way off in the woods and overgrown. There were two communities that once were near. One was called Crusher since there was a large rock crusher plant in the area. Later, there was a town called Big Canyon which disappeared in the 1950's. It is also known as the James family cemetery.
If you have family buried in the James Family Cemetery or can take a gate photo or have obits (with newspapers permission or an obit that you can write) or tombstone photos or individual portraits or can write a short bio or have a history of the cemetery and would like to add your information to this website, contact the area coordinator for more information. You can also check out our How to Submit page.
NOTICE. If you submit information to this website and change your e-mail address please notify the area coordinator with the county/cemetery and new e-mail address so we can keep our pages as up to date as possible.
