Abandoned Tombstones / Cemeteries ...These tombstones were found by researchers in various parts of Kemper County. I will link their email address, but this does not mean they are researching these people. It only means that they found the tombstones. If you have any additions or if these people are your family and you would like your email address attached, please let me know. They are grouped as to location, not in alphabetical order.
Family 1 Location: Found in an abandoned field off the Kellis Store Road, on what was formerly known as the Jim Hailey Place. It is privately owned property.

hill about one quarter mile east of Key's Chapel Church in Section 17, Township

on the home place in the 1800's. Submitted by Thomas

by Thomas
Seale. My name is Beth Richardson. My family has owned land in
the extreme Northwest corner of Kemper County for
approximately 50 years or longer. All my life, I have heard
stories about a "Indian Cemetery" being on our land. The
older I got, the more interested I became about the people
who were possibly buried on our land. There is even an acre
parcel set aside at the location of the cemetery. It is
marked on the master land maps. |
