Cemetery is severely overgrown with trees and bushes. Only a few marked graves were found, but no doubt there were a number of others there. From Quitman, Clarke Co., MS, take US Highway 145 South for 4.5 miles; turn left on County Road 690 and travel approximately 2.3 miles. Turn left on County Road 691; then right on County Road 692. The cemetery is a few hundred feet on the left., across the road from a church.
I have shown dates in the DDMMMYYYY format for easier reading. Abbreviation used here is as follows: FM = Foot Marker
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.
