Aerial view of Rawhide Cemetery.

Rawhide Cemetery is located in rural Jennings on property owned and managed by 
the Suwannee River Water Management District; Hamilton County Property 
Appraiser Parcel 3137-000 in Section 7 Twp 2N Range 13E.  Reportedly nothing 
remains of the cemetery today.

The Hamilton Property Appraiser’s office provided a map showing the 
approximate location of the Rawhide Cemetery and advised there are two 
possible access routes to the location.  The first option from the nearest 
road on the west (NW 17th Way) - one would have to walk approximately ˝ mile 
across pastureland to reach the cemetery. The second option from the nearest 
road on the east (NW 80th Lane) – would require walking approximately 3/8 mile 
on trails left by lumber trucks.  

The WPA Veterans’ Grave Registration Project of 1940-41 reported two Civil War 
Veterans buried in Rawhide Cemetery.  Lewis and Solomon Tyre.  Lewis Anderson 
Tyre, Sr. 1833-1878,  I found a headstone has been placed in his memory next 
to his wife Fannie in the Deas [Dees] Cemetery subsequent to my February 2007 
survey of that cemetery.  Additional information for him may also be found on 
the Find-A-Grave website www.findagrave.com.  However, Solomon Tyre  was, 
found via findagrave.com, buried in Curlew Pioneer Cemetery, Palm Harbor, FL; 
his headstone may be viewed on findagrave.com.  Additional information for 
both men may also be seen at www.civilwarflorida.com.
