by high grass and bushes. These graves cannot be seen from the road, and can only be seen when you approach the monument.
There is approx. 20 graves in the cemetary. The only other names I made notes of were the names on the large monument. They are Sarsh Folsom and Amey Stephine Folsom (a young child). I should have recorded dates and names for you, but by the time I finally located the graves it was getting late.
The following is the inscriptions of the tombstones of my great-great grandfather and great-great grandmother that I found in the Spring Branch Cemetary.
To the memory of Mary E. Bradford consort of Gabriel Bradford who departed this life Sept. 19, 1867 aged 62 years
"Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord"
To the memory of Gabriel Bradford who departed this life Dec. 19, 1867 aged 72 years
?Our loss, but thy gain
Small markers at the foot the each grave read as follows:
Gabriel Bradford, disinterred from grave #188, Gainesville Baptist Church Cemetary.	August 1964
Mary Bradford, disinterred from grave #189, Gainesville Baptist Church Cemetary.	August 1964
I hope that some of this information will be of help to you and your records. I wish to thank you again for all the help and information you have given me. Without it, I would have never located the above graves which was of great value to my records. I sincerely appreciate everything you have showed me, and the time you took. My research is not finished in Bay St.Louis, so possibly I will be seeing you again. If I can be of any other help to you, please let me know
Sincerely,
C/ James T. Dennis
