Montroy Cemetery 1837
Cemetery view
Location: Coahoma, Mississippi near Moon Lake. From
Hwy 1, turn east on Moon Lake Rd. Go to the first stop sign. Turn south,
the lake is on the north. The cemetery is about 1/2 mile on the west side
of the road. It is right off the road and very well kept. I do not know
if there are any unmarked graves in this cemetery.
The photographs and info in this portion of the archives were taken
by:
Clara McGee, Essie Powers
and Geneva Richmond on September
28, 2002 (cm/ep/gr)
