Dorchester County, South Carolina Cemeteries

Location: North Rigby Street, Reevesville, SC.

History: In 1836 or before the Grimes family gave the first portion of land, later the Griffith family donated a second portion, and later Mr. Perry B. Judy gave the third portion, which together forms the lot upon which the Church and Cemetery stand. The oldest epitaph is that of JOHN GRIMES, born 1804, died 1836, one hundred forty-one years ago, which accounts for the number of unmarked graves, foot stones only, and broken stones therein. The Church was chartered 9th August 1885, and church built thereafter, some forty-nine years after the known beginning of the Cemetery. The broken stones of John Grimes and John Brothers were bordered with cement in 1976 for preservation by Bennie Berry. Our town was first known as "GRIMES TOWN," and this could have originally been Grimes Graveyard or such. (re. plat owned by Theodore Berry) Lillian H. Harley
