General Notes: Wife - Margaret Shearer


It is related, that on the return home of some of her family from the interment of the first corpse in Cross Creek graveyard, Mrs. Margaret Shearer inquired where the grave was made, and on being informed, exclaimed, throwing up her hands: “There is now a graveyard started, and I know I will be the next;” which prediction came true.
