Headstone inscription for Charlottie Spiegel; Holly Springs Cemetery, south of Jonesboro on old route 1, .4 miles off the main road, opposite the Holy Spirit Jesus Name Pentacostal Church; DE Condit visited 3/5/93.
Pentocostal preacher.
Holly Springs Cemetery: Located five miles north of Harrisburg, Arkansas off Highway 163, on Holly Springs Road. A large number of graves are unmarked. Many are marked with only rocks, iron posts, or rusty funeral home markers that are no longer legible. I've tried to add the name of the funeral home from these markers, when possible. All visible stones were recorded with the exception of one large stone, overturned, face down.
Maternal DNA Haplogroup: I1a1b
