Silver City Cemetery, Humphreys County, MS-GenWeb


	Humphreys County, Mississippi Silver City Cemetery All races are buried in these grounds

(One individual stated that the entire cemetery was the city cemetery but it is apparent that most of the grounds on the south side of the cemetery are white and markers facing the south. The markers behind the church are facing a variety of directions and one may think they are African American due to their close physical location to the church. At this point all races are buried in the cemetery and undistinguishable as to race. There are many burial sites on the grounds that do not have markers just recessed grounds indicating that one of God's children were laid to rest. [The directions of the markers may not be accurate as noted.])

If you have access to any cemetery listings or tombstone photographs from Humphreys County, and you are willing to share them with your fellow researchers, please let me know . I would like to have listings and photos for all of the cemeteries in the county. Suggested corrections and/or additions will be noted in RED. The original data will not be removed. Do you know of others buried here? Let me know and I will post their names and data. This cemetery was recorded on December 22, 1999 and contributed by Stanley & Cindy Marshall. The thanks of all Humphreys County researchers go to both of them for their very unselfish contributions. Please use the "Find button" on your browser to find the surname you are looking for as they are not in alphabetical order.
