INGOMAR CEMETERY, UNION COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI >PRE 1900 HEADSTONE LISTING< (Located 4-5 miles South of New Albany on C.R. 90) October 25, 1997 This cemetery is well kept and located in an open field. There are several headstones dating back to the 1840's, which is the first group I've seen from that era. Several of the stones are badly weathered and broken. A few have fallen over and are almost buried in the soil, they need to be reerrected. The cemetery contains the oldest headstone I've seen yet in Union County, dating back to 1840.
