CHURCH/CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

It appears that there was a Starr homestead that was located along side of the 
Tugaloo River.  When Lake Hartwell was formed, water covered the homestead and 
the owners were forced to move.  At that time, the following James Starr grave 
was probably reinterred.

The following tombstone inscription was very difficult to read.  It appears that 
this child's grave was relocated to another cemetery.  It's been reported that 
the surname might be STARR, but the tombstone inscription looks like STAPP.
