Quote:
"The Hailey farm was right across the road from my King grandparents farm. I went to the Hailey cemetery when I was a little girl. It's a shame that it is gone now. The Dade Co. Gen. Society has pictures of 4 stones that were there several years ago. There originally were more stones than that. One of the stones is Meredith's (the oldest Meredith). You will find some more information about the Hailey's when you go to Margaret Evaline's find a grave site."
