Snell Church of God and Cemetery are located in the extreme northeastern corner of Clarke Co., MS, on County Road 514. The Snell Volunteer Fire Department lies adjacent to the church.
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.
