Rollo Tid Bits
On Friday, September 4, 1998 I visited the God's Little Vine Cemetery in Walker Co., AL. It is located about one mile east of the Empire Post Office. I found the grave of John H. Rollo. On the grave stone was J.H. Rolo , May 22 1833, Jan 25 1921. The grave next to him was for O.A. (probably QA since it is well worn), Oct 28 1848, Feb 4 1917. (The death certificate for John H. Rollo's son in OK gives the name of his mother as Queen Ann Booth) The next grave had a stone with J C Rolo, with the name made up of small shells glued on to the stone. There was another grave about 100 feet away with a newer type stone for a Sara Rollo (spelled correctly), b. May 24 1869, d. Jul 26 1910.
I also visited the Crews Cemetery in Lamar Co., AL to find the grave of Mary Frances Rollo, who married Edmund Moody Bussey. Her stone says Mary Francis Rollo, wife of E.M. Bussey, b. Feb 11 1863, d. May 18 1901. Beside her were the graves of her twin daughters who died at birth on May 11 1901 (she died one week later). Another daughter buried there was Pearley, b. Apr 15 1894, d. May 20 1897. Her husband's father, Benjamin Bussey (b. Jun 3 1828, d. Jun 7 1908), is also buried nearby.
Here is a photo of the William Alexander
Rollo home from a previous trip to the area. Also a photo of
his grave site.
