CASTON CEMETERY
Willis Brumfield and Neathie Gatlin Brumfield
Some of ancestor graves the of the African American Brumfield and Caston families are found at the Caston Cemetery. The cemetery is an old cemetery about fifty feet off the road at 4022 Old 24 Extension Magnolia Mississippi according to GOOLE maps. There is no sign on the highway to identify the existence of a cemetery. There is however a cyclone metal fence gate at the highway entrance. Thanks to my cousin he showed me the location. The cemetery has old headstones with time and erosion the names have faded through the years. Some graves are unmarked with the passage of time headstones are absent. I located the headstones of Willis and Neathie Brumfield. In this blog, I have included the names of their children and their known spouses. I have recounted information in prior blogs about the family. Eddie Brumfield Sr. was their oldest surviving child and featured in earlier blogs. Their children are descendants of Brumfield, Conerly, Cowart and Gatlin families.
