Jack Grantham's correspondence ref.: James Hogan Bull family cemetery....
Roger, you said that you wanted this. All buried here are members of the
Bull family. My grandmother is Florence, wife of S.T.Grantham and she lies
in the same graveyard with her grandfather William Maurice Bull and his
father James Hogan Bull. /s/Jack C. Grantham
Bull Family Cemetery
Route 2
Vaughan, MS
In Yazoo County Story by Yazoo Historical Association under the heading The
Bull Graveyard.
"One of the earliest cemeteries in eastern Yazoo County is the Bull
graveyard, located a few miles east of Benton on the Canton Road.
"The first marked grave in this enclosure indicates that burials were made
there as early as 1832.
"The original six-foot-high enclosure was made from slave-molded bricks.
There was space for 144 graves, most of which were filled by descendants of
James Hogan and Freelove Campbell Bull. Names include Bull, Campbell,
Ledbetter, Exum and Moore.
"…An unidentified Confederate soldier is buried just outside the enclosure,
as are several other unidentified persons. On the drop of the hill outside
the enclosure are the graves of slaves and some of their descendants.
"Heavy raines caused the original bricks to topple in 1955 and they were
removed to make way for a cast iron fence.
"Many of the epitaphs are interesting and there are carvings on several of
the stones. One shows a father bowed in grief at the death of the mother of
his children."
