Tilton Cemetery
near Jayees, Lawrence County,  Mississippi

The following photos were taken of almost all the graves in the Tilton Cemetery as of July 2003. Some have been computer-enhanced for readability. Others were identified by correlating details from prior listings and super-imposing names and dates on the photos. The few remaining unidentified markers which show up on prior list are included in a box with data only. Some husband and wife markers have only the name and birth date of one member. I assume that person is still living so those are not included. There are exceptions, such as my Grandmother. The date of her death has not been inscribed.

I would like to make a couple of personal comments about this experience.  There are so many older graves of infants and children. Their parents suffered heart-breaking losses. The contrast is that there are less and less of these type graves as years go by. It does not lessen the loss of later families. It does show how infant mortality continue to be reduced.

I was impressed by one husband-wife grave. You will recognize it too.  It is elaborately decorated. The love in that family must have been Tremendous!

Finally, I apologize for error and omissions. I hope this will help anyone as they search for ancestors resting in the Tilton Cemetery.
