Dinah #1 Cemetery

Inscriptions

Pike County, Mississippi

(African-American)

Photographed December 2002

Dinah #1 Cemetery is located in a 170m by 100m open area within the city limits of McComb, in the north-central portion of Pike County, Mississippi. From the intersection of Federal Highway 98 and Federal Highway 51, travel south on Highway 51 for .15 miles. Turn left on Bardwell Avenue. Dinah #1 lies on the right (South) side of the street. The cemetery is well maintained and burials continue to be made there. The photo at left was taken within the cemetery looking Southwest. Cemetery coordinates are: 31°13’70”N 090°27’11”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.
