Thanks BlueStaticHorse, I guess I see why this cemetery is not 'Notable' enough to be included on it's own.

I have submitted an edit request on Talk:Terry,_Mississippi instead of actually making the edit myself because I'm guessing that the fact that I have relatives buried in the cemetery would be a conflict of interest. MajorJCinMS (talk) 19:10, 1 September 2026 (UTC) Reply
