Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery. This is a virtually abandoned cemetery. It has no access road. You must walk a good distance through a pine tree thicket on uneven ground over several ditches to get there. Do not visit unless you are in good physical condition. If you do visit apply insect repellent. There is no fence around the cemetery. Vegetation has over grown grave sites. Some twenty-five to thirty years ago (Ref to year 2003) unknown culprits kicked over and broke up the most headstones. We were able to photograph some headstones after removing over growth and leaves. We will ask Marsha to post these photos on the Neshoba Genealogy Web Page. We will add some general overview pictures to this email for your viewing to depict the condition of Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery, Neshoba County, Mississippi. It is located east of the City of Philadelphia on highway 16 just about two miles east of Cross Roads, and north of highway 16. Family names that we know of who are buried in Pilgrim's rest are Davis, Eaks, Eakes Franklin, Mars, Mckenny, Owens, and Hall Contact: Milton L. Jenkins, jenkinsm@cableone.net
