Submitted by Max Hardesty


In the listing of the Ft. McKavett Cemetery. there is a 3 year old girl, Lema Burrows, Aug 03 1904,Feb 12, 1907, D/o W. W. and Mary. The  W. W. and Mary  are my grandparents, and Lema is my aunt. I only recently found out where she is buried.  Mary Baker Burrows was the daughter of G. Baker,  a General Store owner in Ft. McKavett.  W.W.and Mary Baker Burrows were married in Menard County in 1901.

I have two large Ledger books of the G. Baker store with many names and purchases. I would like for these Ledgers and some pictures to go to the Historical Museum to be part of the history of Ft. McKavett.   Thanks to Max Hardesty for sharing the information with us.
