Shelton Cemetery

Moores Prairie Twp.

Walked & Indexed By: Cindy Ford & Misty Flanigan - May 28, 2000

Photos Submitted By: Cindy Ford - Apr 18, 2004

There are several sand stone markers that are no longer readable and many unmarked graves.

This cemetery is very overgrown and neglected.

 

Many volunteers have worked very hard to provide the researchers of Jefferson County a listing of Cemeteries and to provide pictures of headstones to help you in your personal research.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE the cemetery listings and pictures that others have worked so hard to provide and add it to any other website as your own.

Thank You for understanding and respecting the work of others.
