Wiggins Cemetery
This has been called Wiggins Cemetary. It is down a dirt road off the main Hwy 63 going from Hampton into Islandton
just past Bubbas Used Cars. There use to be an old saw mill further up the dirt road. In the graveyard the tombstones are made of wood, beautiful handiwork, but now rotted and lying on the ground. There are some headstones readable. Some I found covered over with bushes, and mosquitoes will swarm you. I tried to push back the branches and
scape mildew that had grown over the names. These are what I have on file as of date.
Daisey Wiggins b. June 14, 1947 - d. June 14, 1947
Runnell M. Wiggins b. Fe. 9, 1927 - d Dec. 17, 1991
Charlie Wiggins b. Dec. 6, 1920 - d March?, 1952
(Charlie had this headstone connected to Runnell who I assume is his wife, but there is a seperate
tombstone for
Charlie away from this one and it reads as follows:
