Hickey Cemetery
Near Peoria, Hill County, Texas

GNIS Peoria map: 315758N  0971043W

Buried here are Joe's great-grandparents, Benjamin Franklin & Lola Zoella/Zuleca (James) Darby along with Lola's father, John Franklin James. We believe that Lola's mother, Jane Elizabeth Garvin and John's parents, Lott & Rachael Caroline (Youngblood) James may also be buried here. Note the empty areas in the curbed James plot.

These photos were taken in 1993 and 2001. We will be returning this fall (2005) to update our pictures and to snap the stones we've since found connected to the James and Darby families.
