Unmarked graves in Tunica Cemetery

These notes are on a photocopy in my files. They are difficult to interpret.

“From: Mr. Bill Anderson 7/1/87”

Ed Porter Naler, Missouri

His boy Ed Porter, Jr. child swallowed a marble and choked [ that grave and others nearby were covered in concrete and his has a large blue marble embedded; I do not remember whether names and dates were engraved in the concrete; the graves were sunken and breaking open and in the 1950’s "Little Herndon" Reily filled them with river silt and marked the three with cypress crosses, painted white]
