A complete inventory of the tombstone inscriptions in the Lebanon Baptist Church Cemetery was made by Harry Blue on 26 October 1982. It was my intent to show the genealogical information only from the markers. In this listing you will find the complete name, including any reference to mother or father or other person and the birth and death dates in that order.

Lebanon Baptist Church Cemetery is reached by traveling south from Abbeville on U.S. Highway 129 approximately six (6) miles and turning into a dirt road marked 72 and proceeding along this road about one (1) mile to the church.

There are approximately sixty nine (69) well marked graves in this cemetery. When a military marker exists this is noted by showing the military inscription immediately below the original listing. Also when special markings such as Masonic or Woodmen of the World emblems appear I have made a note of this fact.

I have attempted to be completely accurate in this listing. Errors may have occurred. If so it was because of the difficulty in reading a particular inscription or purely a human error. If such error appears, please forgive me.
