From my book, Cemetery Inscriptions of Clarke County, Mississippi, Vol. I
Individual data contained on this page may be used for personal, non-profit purposes; however the entire page or portions thereof may NOT be copied, cut'n'pasted, downloaded, or otherwise duplicated for any reason, including posting elsewhere, without express permission of the compiler above.
Mont Rose Baptist Church and Cemetery are located in Clarke Co., MS; Northeast of Quitman, MS. Take US Highway 145 North from downtown Quitman for 5.7 miles; turn right on County Road 147. Church and cemetery are situated two miles East. The photo at left was taken 11 Jan 99. The view is from the back of the cemetery looking Northwest. Church is in the background.
We have shown dates in the DDMMMYYYY format for easier reading. The (double marker) note means two separate headstones with surname between resting on a double base. The (double base) means two separate headstones (with full names) resting on a double base. Row numbers were determined as best as we could using the cemetery layout and may not necessarily agree with any other compilation (if any) or official cemetery records. Abbreviations used here are as follows: BB = Brick Border; CB = Concrete Border; CS = Concrete Slab; DM = Double Marker; DBS = Double Base; FHM = Funeral Home Marker; GB = Granite Border; GS = Granite Slab.
We have tried diligently to copy all inscriptions accurately; however, there is no guarantee that this work is 100% correct. If anyone sees an obvious error, please do not hesitate to let us know. All rows were read from left to right.
Note: Since publishing the cemetery book in which this listing first appeared, I have found errors I made when I entered the data from my handwritten compilation; corrections have been made for this posting. These changes appear in red on this page. Minor typo corrections are not included.
