The Anderson Cemetery is located on Old Hwy 178 about a mile east of Byhalia, Ms in Marshall County. It sits in a small clearing on top of the hill, just west of the intersection of Quinn Mills Rd and Edwards Rd which cross Hwy 178.
Approx. GPS Coordinates: Lat. 34.86829/ Lon.89.66964 .
There were 9 names memorialized in the small clearing and what looked like at least 2 unmarked graves, where the ground had started to sink. I have set up memorial pages and added the cemetery to the FindA Grave memorial website.
I have not yet had a chance to research the history of this little cemetery, but if you have any information about it that you would like to share or add to the memorials on FindAgrave, you can click on the links below each photo to view the individual memorials and send the information to me and I can either add the information for you or if you are a family member and have a FindAGrave account, I will transfer the memorial to you and you can add any information you wish to add. I had some problems with posting some of the photos, blogger is not cooperating with me today, but you can click the link and see the headstone photo as they are all posted on the FindAGrave memorials.

I think this is SO cool! I'm a big fan of Find A Grave. A few weeks ago, I was driving back from Holly Springs and had the same experience as you. I just happened to look up and see what looked like a couple of tombstones through the trees. I have noticed the site before, and thought I saw shapes that looked like tombstones, but never was quite sure. I was always in a hurry to get to Holly Springs and never took the time to stop and explore it. That day, I turned back to take a closer look and discovered a family plot of new graves. I found the obituary online of one of the ladies buried there and discovered that the name of the cemetery was the Hulsey family cemetery. The best that I could determine, there were six people buried there, and it appeared that a few family pets were buried there, as well. I posted the memorial on Find A Grave:

Great find and great save!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Robert, I saw your photos on FB and I recognized it as I am frequently in that area, but have never had the chance to stop and really look, so glad you were able to document them. :) I encourage everyone to get involved in saving our old and unknown cemeteries, if we dont do it no one ever will and some of these old places will be lost forever. Thank you for taking the time!
