According to Ms. Carolina "Carrie" N. Walker, youngest daughter of Dr. Alexander Spann Walker and Sarah Anna Nicholson, (reported to ): "...At one time our great grandmother (Sarah Harvey) lived in Summer Grove, and then she also lived near Mansfield. Mama used to often speak of how as children, they would visit their grandmother and what a good time they would have, staying all night. Mama said she was such a sweet,

tiny littleperson, and that she humored them in every way.... of course mama's grandfather (Henry Youngblood) died years before she was born, and

I doubt if she knew where he was buried. Summer grove is the little village located about eight or nine miles from Shreveport, on the Mansfield road, and is, I expect, one of the oldest settlements near here. There are churches and school houses and a few stores there. This

is the church taht my grandparents attendand where mama was baptized. There is an old cemetery located near the church. It is possibel the our great grandfather was buried there, but I doubt it.

My grandfatehr and his brothr homesteaded land near Summer Grove, and there is whre my mother (Sarah Anna Nicholson Walker) was born, raised and married. He had his family burying ground located in sight of

the residence, but Iknow Henry Youngblood isn't buried there..."
