Feemster Cemetery
 
In the Caledonia region of Lowndes County, it is also the burying ground of the old Salem Independent Presbyterian Church, and directly connected with the story of this anti-slavery and pro-Union group who dared to stand for what they believed when public opinion was very much against them.  The story of this group of people can be obtained by looking in the research section.  The following is a recording of this cemetery which gives some indication of the families closely tied with the Feemsters and Salem Church.  (Recorded by Rolfe Chase, 1976).
