Smith
Cemetery
Transcribed by Thomas Richard
Plunkett on 15 Jan 2003
Location:
Southeast from intersection of Hatley-Detroit
Road and Greenwright Road upon a quite high
and "rough going" hill.
There is only one marked grave at Smith Cemetery
which is abandoned and overgrown. There are
probably several unmarked graves but no evidence
could be located for them. The one marked grave
is a double tombstone which reads:
DAVID R SMITH
BORN DEC.27 1848
DIED JAN.16 1905
MARTHA E SMITH
BORN SEPT.12 1847
DIED MAR.27 1901
  
There are other persons buried at this cemetery,
but their graves are lost. Family tradition
recalls that in about 1928 a child of John Henry
and Mossie (Thornton) Plunkett was buried there
in a shoe box. It was probably a stillborn child.
If you know of other persons buried here or
if you have any knowledge of a vandalism at
this cemetery somewhere in the late 1940s or
early 1950s, please contact the Monroe
County MSGenWeb coordinator.
