Magnolia Cemetery Inscriptions

Clarke County, Mississippi

(African-American)

Compiled 2000 by Wallace L. "Matt" Dillon Jr.

Magnolia Cemetery is located in the north western part of Clarke Co., MS. From Enterprise take State Highway 513 North for 5 miles. Turn right on Clarke County Highway 361. Go 50 meters to the dirt road on the right. Magnolia Cemetery lies 500 meters up the dirt road to the left side. NOTE: Access to the road is restricted by a locked gate. The cemetery is well maintained and burials continue to be made there. Magnolia Cemetery is situated in a forest clearing and is divided into 2 sections, East and West, approximately 50 meters separating the 2 sections. The photo at top left was taken at the cemetery entrance looking South at the West Section. The  photo at top right was taken in the West Section looking East at the East Section. Cemetery Coordinates are: dd°mm’ss"N ddd°mm’ss"W.

I 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 I could using the cemetery layout and may not necessarily agree with any other compilation (if any) or official cemetery or church 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; SM = Stone Marker.

In both sections, rows were numbered from West to East; Graves listed from right to left (North to South) in the West Section and left to right (South to North) in the East Section. Rows with only a few graves were counted as full rows as the cemetery is still active. 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.
