Center Ridge Cemetery Inscriptions
Clarke County, Mississippi
(African-American)
Photographed December 2006
by Matt Dillon
Center Ridge Cemetery is located adjacent to Clarke County Road 267, south of the town of Quitman, in central Clarke County, Mississippi. From downtown Quitman head south on Highway 45 for 7.3 miles. Turn right (west) on Clarke County Road 266 for 1 mile. Veer right (north) on Clarke County Road 267 for .7 miles. Center Ridge Baptist Church is located on your right; Center Ridge cemetery is on your left. The cemetery is commercially active and burials continue to be made there. The photo at right was taken within the cemetery looking west. Cemetery coordinates are: 31°56’32”N, 088°44’29”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.
Center Ridge Cemetery has not been cataloged or indexed. I plan to complete work on Center Ridge as soon as time permits.
