Hazlehurst Cemetery( Old Section)
Hazlehurst Cemetery is located in the
town of Hazlehurst in Copiah County, Mississippi. It is one of the older
cemeteries in the county. It can be reached from Interstate Highway 55 by
taking exit 61 and going east for 0.7 miles. Then turn right on old highway 51
and go south through town. After you pass the Courthouse in the center of town
go 0.3 miles and turn right on Fair Street. Go one block, and the cemetery is
on the left. The oldest recorded grave is 1858. The new section of Hazlehurst
cemetery is across the street from the old section.
There are approximately 812 identifiable grave markers.
There are additional graves with no markers. The author made this listing on
March 31, 2000. The information comes from the tombstones. In addition
reference was made to World War I registration data, the Social Security Death
Index database, the Federal Census, and the Copiah County marriage records.
Where tombstones list birth dates and no death, that information was recorded.
The individual may still be alive. Reference was made to a previous listing
made in 1953 by Miss Francis A. Cook. Every attempt was made to ensure
accuracy, but some stones were very difficult to read
