Saucier, Harrison County, Mississippi

The Wedgeworth Cemetery is located in Saucier, Harrison County, Mississippi. To find this cemetery from Highway 49 in Saucier, take Second Street west for about one-third mile until it ends. Turn left on Old Highway 49 and go about one-half mile. Turn right on Saucier Lizana Road and drive about two miles until you see the Wedgeworth Cemetery on your right.

On June 26, 2004 Howard Baulch visited this cemetery and took photos of selected tombstones. Howard's third great-grandparents, Josiah T. Terrell and Lucena Swilley, are the grandparents and great-grandparents (through their daughter, Minerva Ladner Terrell) of the Wedgeworths buried here. Additionally, Rudolph Vernon Wedgeworth (buried here) is the son of Emma Ellen Gibson, Howard's grandaunt. The transcriptions and tombstones are presented below. Comments in parentheses are not on the tombstones and are additional information offered by the author.
