WELCOME TO PARAMORE, MCGOWAN, MAYO MEMORIALS
Compiled by Shirley P. Barr

THIS IS MY FATHER'S PARENTS TOMBSTONE, MY GRANDFATHER DIED WHEN MY DADDY WAS 13, AND MY GRANDMOTHER DIED
15 YEARS LATER. SHE DIED TWO YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN
SO I NEVER KNEW EITHER ONE OF THEM.

PAPA LEVI AND NORA MCGOWAN TOMBSTONE

H.LEE (DAD'S BROTHER) AND BESSIE M. PARAMORE
MY AUNT AND UNCLE

GRANDMA NORA'S BROTHER AND HIS WIFE

GRANDMA NORA'S BROTHER CHARLES ALLEN MAYO

THIS WAS GRANDMA NORA'S UNCLE. (BROTHER TO HER FATHER)

THIS WAS GRANDMA'S GREAT, GREAT UNCLE AND AUNT

HOPEFULLY, I WILL GATHER MORE INFORMATION ON THESE LARGE EXTENSIVE FAMILIES. PAPA LEVI WAS OF IRISH DESCENT.
THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORY AMONG THE MAYOS, MCGOWANS AND PARAMORES. MY NEICE HAS COMPILED A BOOK ABOUT THESE FAMILIES AND HOPEFULLY SHE CAN BE OF HELP IN A DEEPER ACCOUNT OF THEIR HISTORY.

MOST OF THE TOMBSTONES ON THIS PAGE ARE LOCATED IN THE
WESLEY FAMILY CEMETARY, WHICH IS A VERY WELL KEPT PLACE, AND THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORY THERE.

THE REPLICA OF THE HOMEPLACE BELOW, IS JUST BEYOND THE CEMETERY AND IS VISITED QUITE OFTEN BY PEOPLE WHO COME THROUGH TO SEE THE CEMETARY.

THIS IS OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY GUY MAYO JR. WHO IS
THE GREAT NEPHEW OF GRANDMA NORA.
