Fellowship Cemetery

New Fellowship Cemetery Inscriptions

Clarke County, Mississippi

(African-American)

Compiled 2000 by Wallace "Matt" Dillon

Updated: July 2005

The New Fellowship Cemetery is located in the north-western part of Clarke County, 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. The New Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church is located across the road from the cemetery. It is well maintained and burials continue to be made there. The photo at left was taken within the cemetery looking Northwest. Cemetery 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; GLV = Ground Level Vault; 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.
