Elder Family Cemetery

Elder Ferry Rd., Escatawpha, Jackson County, MS

Additional Comments:
The cemetery was established by the Elder Family. It is a historical cemetery. 
This cemetery contains the oldest marked grave non-catholic in Jackson County. 
There are some current graves outside the original family plot. The cemetery 
was destroyed by Thyoil. They were required to restore the Elder family 
markers. Many other graves were lost. [Source: Harry McDonald]
