Subjects:Carolyn C. Outlaw
Della Faye Outlaw (b. Jan 31, 1939, d. Sep 3 1944) gravesite
Samuel L. Watson
William Fender
Comments:Della Faye's interment at Empire Cemetery, just over the line into Lanier Co. (Georgia). Later, Mama and Daddy had her moved to the "new" Nashville Cemetery, Westview. The new cemetery is not new anymore and goes by its regular name; there is now another "new" cemetery.

Supplemental Image A is a composite of eight photos taken at the graveside. These images are really rather powerful if one contemplates them. My sister, Carolyn, is shown--she seems lost and bewildered. She and Della Faye were separated by 13 months and they were constantly together until . . . . Sam (= Samuel L. Watson, Sam Watson) usually presented with confidence, presence and upright posture, even when he obtained 80. In one photo, he is shown looking sad by the grave and another shows him walking away, slumped and forlorn. William Fender (who lived on the farm) is shown on the first and other slides. Life is fragile--one day a little girl giggles, the next day she is cold. Sometimes, it is better not to think too much.

Supplemental B is the obituary.
