From my book, Cemetery Inscriptions of Clarke County, Mississippi, Vol. 2

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.

Mt. Pisgah Memorial Cemetery and site of the former Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church are located in central Clarke Co., MS, approximately 2 miles east of Quitman, MS. Directions: From US Highway 145 at Quitman, take State Highway 18 East for 1.2 miles; bear right on State Highway 511 South for .8 miles; turn right on County Road 684 (there is also a separate green sign with the name "Mt. Pisquoah Cemetery"). Cemetery is situated about a tenth of a mile at the dead end.

I have shown dates in the DDMMMYYYY format for easier reading. Row numbers were determined as best as I 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; FM = Foot Marker; FS = Foot Stone; GB = Granite Border; GS = Granite Slab. As used in this compilation, a "double marker" means two separate headstones with surname between, resting on a double base; a "double base" means two separate headstones (with full names) resting on a double base.

I 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 me know. All rows were read left to right.
