New Fellowship Cemetery
Inscriptions
(African American)
Compiled December 2000 by Wallace L. "Matt" Dillon Jr.
The New Fellowship Cemetery is located in the north-western part of Clarke Co., MS. From Enterprise take Clarke County Highway 360 West for 5.6 miles. The cemetery is on the left and is enclosed by a chain link fence. New Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church is located across the road from the cemetery. The photo at left was taken within the cemetery looking Northwest. The Coordinates are: 32°11'06"N 088°54'20"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.
Rows were numbered from North to South; Graves listed from right to left (East to West). Rows with only a few plots 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.
