Grand Bé Island
Saint-Malo, Departement d'Ille-et-Vilaine, Bretagne, France
15 miles S on US 183, W on CR 157 1 mi.
James Benson and Sarah Nixon McCleskey donated the land for the original part of this cemetery. Their infant son, Lewis B. McCleskey, was the first internment in 1877.
A group of citizens formed the Gunsight Cemetery Association about 1919; they wanted to improve the cemetery and perpetuate its care. Mrs. Anna Maxwell donated land to the Gunsight Burial Association for this purpose. The association traded that land for more suitable land owned by Wesley and May Hinson in 1968. In 1992 the Hinson's children, Troy, June Cooke, Jo Ann Lambert, and Mattie Lou Moore, gave an additional fifty feet of land.
Every year on the 4th Saturday in April the cemetery association meets in their building across the road to conduct business.
