Pallbearers: Paul FISCHER Kenny SQUIRES Dan HENDRICK James BASHAM Eddie BASHAM Sterett ASHBY Submitted by: Peggy Russell meemawpeg7@gmail.com Additional Comments: James has a single tombstone (probably a military tombstone which is given to the family for free.) The Breckinridge County Cemetery Book, Vol. one, has him listed, except his death date is listed wrong (March 12, 1966). In case anyone who is researching this family seeks the correct information, we know he died May 12, 1960 according to his obituary. I will inform the Archives co-ordinator, and correct this error in copying of the tombstone. Cloverport Cemetery SQUIRES, James M.
