Directions --
4-Mile
Cemetery is north of Belzoni, MS on Hwy 7
very close to
the
Leflore County line but is in Humphreys Co at the present time.
It is located
in
front of an old "Dog Trot" house at the intersection of Inverness Road
and
the 4-Mile Road (located on the opposite side of Inverness Road from
the
old 4-Mile Store -
Coca Cola sign
on
from of store).
There is no way to know who all was buried in this
location.
A visit on September 24, 2002, revealed some markers in their original
location
while others appeared to be scattered over the entire area and on both
sides of 4-Mile Road. Some bases were all that was left of
markers while marker
tops seems as if they had been thrown where they lay at the
present. There appears to be no way to know if those markers are
any where near the
graves. The entries in green are based upon the survey done on
September
24, 2002.
A local fisherman/resident stated that more markers were in
the
water. When the water goes down, they can be seen under the water.
