These two graves with no ID are at the foot of the other two Matthews headstones. Because of the proximity these could be Case Matthews, Sr., Feb 2, 1878 - Apr 1909; and Willie Matthews, Apr 1909. Kansas Brabham was first married to Casey Matthews. They had several children. They lived on Ethel Road, near where Uncle Lige has the blueberry patch. They had a young boy sick. Her husband went to Kentwood during the bad weather to get the doctor to come attend to the son. Casey got sick and died about the same time the son died. They are buried in the Westmoreland Cemetery off Highway 38. Later, she married Thomas Martin Moore. They had two children. Matthews, Case, Sr & Willie ??? (another view)
