Dorchester County, South Carolina Cemeteries

Location: Traveling US 178 east of Rosinville turn north on first road, then a short distance to where White Pond Church was in 1897.

Searchers: Mr. Herbert Pendarvis, Mr. Howard Pendarvis, and Miss Sally L. Pendarvis have made several searches trying to find White Pond Cemetery. They remember having seen tombstones there a number of years past. To date they have not been successful, but their efforts are greatly appreciated by the Committee and posterity.
