As Eliza's parents: Christian McMillan [1867] & Lochlin Cameron [1856] are buried in Fellowship Cemetery ...
... as well as her brother John Franklin [1904] & family
... and there is a fenced Pipkin family lot there with 5 brick outlines
... and there is no record of Eliza Cameron Pipkin being buried at the Midway Cemetery, I put forward that she and Haywood are buried in the Pipkin fenced lot in Fellowship Cemetery. [Memorial ID 230653791].
"PIPKIN LOT - surrounded by a wrought iron fence. When the cemetery was first surveyed in 1933, the name PIPKIN was on a bronze plaque on the entrance gate, but that gate has since gone missing. Now in 2021, only the fencing remains."

His widow [3rd wife] Sarah Matilda (Guerry) Carter wrote "I was married to Haywood Pipkin of Midway, blessed with his loving care, life gliding more peacefully on for some years. And now comes the record of my last great sorrow. October 2nd, 1893 the soul of Haywood Pipkin went home to God while his body was sweetly sleeping."  Family History of Guerry and Dunn.
[Died 12 Feb 1905] She requested that from her share of the rent of her home at Midway for another year, that half the amount be given to Mrs. Mealing Pruett [Haywood & Eliza's daughter Caroline "Carrie" Pipkin] and Mrs. John Brown [daughter Kittie Pipkin]  of Midway to be sacredly applied by them to help purchase a monument for the graves of our dead at Fellowship... "and if any thing is left to put a simple stone at my grave". [which is located in the Enon Cemetery where her family and 1st husband are buried.]
