The Cemetery Books goes back as for as the first person recorded as being buried in the named cemetery. In most every cemetery, there are unmarked graves, unreadable toombstones and more. If your ancestors died before 1870 in Old Tishomingo County, [the year, old Tishomingo county was divided into Alcorn, Prentess and Tishomingo Counties] They could be buried in Alcorn or Prentiss counties. There three Riggs surnames in the cemetey book. All three are buried in Rutledge Salem Cemetery. Riggs, Doyle K and Riggs, Nancy F Riggs, Infant 08/14/1926 10/26/1932 09/26/1949 to Son of Kenneth & 02/05/1988 Nancy Riggs George [email protected] >From: "praisebe2all" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [MSTISHOM-L] Tishomingo County Cemetery Books. >Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2004 15:35:25 -0800 > >Regarding the Tishomingo County Cemetery books, would it be possible to >check the surname RIGGS for any burials?
