Marion County, Mississippi

Contributed by D. Christopher Watts, Oct 28, 2001 [cwatts@cblink.com]. Total records = 29.

Situated at the end of a long scenic private road lies the Thompson Chapel Cemetery. It is a "semi-active" cemetery in that it has had one burial in the last sixty-two years, I do not know if there are unmarked graves in the cemetery but I believe that there are.

I visited the cemetery on Oct 27, 2001 and transcribed this compilation from the tombstones. It is as complete as I could make it.
