The Effingham County Genealogical & Historical Society will have a Cemetery Hop Friday, July 15. Those wishing to attend will be leaving from the Effingham Public Library for a day of historical learning at three local cemeteries. Those attending will start southwest of Effingham at Little Prairie Baptist Church Cemetery (south of Funkhouser). There the group will view four different graves and other things that tour members may bring to your attention including Olly Williams, Rollie Williams, William Phillips and Captain Jinks.

The group will then head south to Salem United Methodist Church Cemetery on CR675E and view four more speical graves including Robert McCain, Faye McCarty, Reta McCain and Ina Davis.

Next they will continue on to the Wabash Baptist Cemetery at CR 400E, just north of Mason to view the last three graves, Zora Towles, Lottie Rowbotham and Malinda Osman.

To learn about interesting cemeteries or if you happen to know something interesting about these cemeteries, be sure to come along and share.
