The
cemetery is about two
miles outside of Lodge SC on Hwy 64, headed towards Walterboro. The
cemetery is
on the right side, only a few feet off of the highway before you come
to the
railroad crossing.
The
Jones Cemetery is very
small and fenced in. The cemetery sits on the edge of a very large
track of
private farmland. The land and the Jones Cemetery once belonged to its
original
owners, my great-great-great grandfather, Robert E. Jones and Melinda
Caldwell.
It has been neglected and abandon for many decades. The cemetery is
terribly
overcome with trees and brush. There have been no burials there since
1970.
I
have transcribed from the
readings done on Sept. 11, 2006 when Terry Courtney and I visited the
cemetery
and copied and photographed the
tombstones. Randy R. Jones.
