This cemetery, which
is also known as Lincoln Cemetery, is located on Rutherford Road in
Greenville, SC. Many veterans are buried in this cemetery. It had
been abandoned for over 60 years before members of the James F.
Daniel, Jr. Post #3 of the American Legion began to organize the
restoration of the grounds. |
Many parts of the
cemetery are overgrown and impossible to walk through. At least 130
World War I veterans are buried there. They died of Influenza at
Camp Sevier in Greenville (1917-1918). Many of the graves are
unmarked. Volunteers, including Boy Scouts and high school students,
have worked to clean up the cemetery during the past three
years. |
