Bethel (New Hope) Cemetery Inscriptions

Clarke County, Mississippi

(African-American)

 

Cataloged 03 July 2005

 by Matt Dillon

Bethel Cemetery is located in forest clearing, south of the town of Quitman, in central Clarke County, Mississippi.  From downtown Quitman head south on Highway 45  4½ miles to the Community of Desoto.  Turn left (east) on Clarke County Road 690 for 2.3 miles.  Turn left (north) on Clarke County Road 690 (Bethel Methodist Church is on your right).  Travel north on Clarke County Road 691 for 400 yards, passing the Brown Chapel Church on your right.  Turn right (northeast) on Clarke County Road for 80 yards.  The cemetery entrance is to the left.  The cemetery is commercially active and burials continue to be made there.    The photo at right was taken within the cemetery looking south.   Cemetery coordinates are: 31°58’28”N, 088°40’48”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; (GLV) = Ground Level Vault.

 

Rows were numbered from West to East; Graves listed from right to left (North to South).  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.
