  William Regan Cemetery
which is on the old Wyoming Plantation

This cemetery is up on the hill behind the Mississippi Chemical Plant  here in Yazoo County.  This land
that the Chemical plant is built on ( plus the Family Cemetery ) was owned by the Regan Family
and when the Grandfather, William Regan, died a son gave the land to his uncle’s folks,
they turned around and sold the land to the Chemical Plant, but forgot to reserve the Family Cemetery. 

Sometime ago it came about that the descendants were denied entrance to the cemetery,
so Lena Mae, a Granddaughter,  jumped in feet first to see what could be done about it.
She wrote a article about the cemetery in the local Newspaper.   After this she got them to let her family
keep it up and care for it. The Chemical Plant deeded  the ¾ th. of a acre that covered the Cemetery, back to her.

She said that not only were the Regan Family buried there but that people
from out in the Delta buried their family there also because of the flooding in the delta.
There are probably over 200 people buried up there in the Regan Cemetery.
