Jefferson County
Cemeteries

 

In the fall of 2002 Verda Baird and Wilma Lewis, members of the Jefferson County Genealogical Society, surveyed the 78 cemeteries and known burial sites in Jefferson County.  During those visits the two women photographed and recorded the conditions of those sites.  Verda Baird has prepared a book of those pictures and has written 6 articles for the local paper, The Fairfield Ledger.  Those six articles have been transcribed by Debbie Nash and now may be viewed from this page.  To review the article click on the article below.

Those cemeteries entered in all CAPITAL LETTERS are listed with the US Geological Survey.

Cemeteries are listed in alphabetical order and those known by multiple or alternate names may be listed more than once.
