Crawford Cemetery, Lowndes, MS submitted by Clare Herrick ****************************************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ****************************************************************** CRAWFORD CEMETERY This cemetery is just west of the Crawford town limits on the north side of the Crawford-Starkville road. The cemetery is in use and is well maintained. There are a number of family plots surrounded by metal fences or stones. The cemetery is partially surrounded by a wire fence. There is a black cemetery immediately to the north of the white cemetery and just outside the fence. There is a white frame church across the street which is used by African Americans. This possibly may have been the site of the old Presbyterian Hill Church which, according to the WPA Lowndes County source material compiled in 1936-1938 was about one half mile from Crawford with an old cemetery nearby.
