List of graves in Old Masonic Cemetery, Block 4, North Ward
(Extreme West side of graveyard, next to street)
Charleston, Mississippi
Founded around 1850

March 10, 2005, Sun-Sentinel, Charleston Ms, an article by Mrs. Faye Mitchell,in this days paper states that Mrs. Margaret Brokaw, local DAR Regent, called to say that the Old Masonic Cemetery located in Charleston has been Certified by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History as an abandoned Cemetery that has historical value and is worthy of preservation. It therefore qualifies as one to receive maintenance from the county. Local Crews do help maintain the cemetery by cutting trees, removing limbs, and mowing grass.

Adrian Sinclair Balch sent these letters and information on the Masonic cemetery. There are 6 documents and listed below are links to these documents.She said the letters are from her mother's estate. Asa Lee CROW, was my m. grandfather. His mother Mary Foree Betts Crow, that she refers to in the letter, was my great grandmother.
