OLD BLUFF PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY - Sections I and II
Compiled by John C. Rosser, Jr.
Author's Note: For convenience in listing, I have arbitrarily divided the cemetery into sixteen sections. Sections I - V are the oldest part of the cemetery and include many unmarked and lost graves. Sections VI - X, within the road loop, were opened next, and Sections XI - XV, to the east of the road loop, were opened in November 1958. Section XVI was the last of the sections to be opened. Listings of markers in Sections I - V, the oldest part, are from south to north, starting with the easternmost row. In the newer sections, listings of markers are from north to south, starting with the westernmost row. All data is on one marker, unless preceded by a lower case letter which is used to indicate a separate, usually foot, marker. For uniformity, dates are listed in order of day, month, and year, regardless of how listed on markers. Genealogical information available to the compiler has been added as endnotes.
