I grew up in the house that backs up to this cemetery. As a child, I was fascinated by the tombstones in this cemetery and spent many hours reading, looking and wondering who some of these folks were. I guess that is how my genealogy hobby was born. I catalogued all of the stones in the Spring-Summer 2002 and have photographed various stones as time permits, and continue to go back when I visit my relatives in Mississippi. I have tried to put relationships on each person if I know it, or if I can find it in the census images. If I missed your relatives' grave or have an error in transcribing it, please send me an email to let me know the correct addition.

This cemetery is located behind the Artesia United Methodist Church in Artesia, Mississippi, near the location of the old schoolhouse, on the north end of the town, near the intersection of Front Street and Church Street.

One Lone Grave with the headstone long destroyed by vandals, lies along the old road between Artesia and Bent Oak , near Beulah Grove. I remember seeing it when I was a child in the 50's, my grandfather would always point it out to me.

Gilley, Anna, dau. of John & M. E. (Martha E.) Gilley. "It was Hard Indeed To Part With Thee, But Christ's Strong Hands Supported Me".
Martha E. Gilley was a widow on the 1900 census, and was enumerated with the Gladney family in Artesia and shown as "Aunt". She was born Martha E. Spradling , sister to Margaret M. Spradling [married name Crump], who married Roland Anderson Crump, Sr. and is buried in this cemetery. I feel that John Gilley and Martha are also buried in Artesia Cemetery and have no marker. Martha was born in May 1839 in Alabama. John was deceased before the 1900 census.

McGee (Magee), Frances, (father of Emily McGee Smith, husband of Martha Ray McGee)
April 09, 1845, Aged 64 years
*Note: Beach Carre interviewed a direct descendant of Francis Mcgee in the early 1990's in Lowndes County, MS and that descendant related that Francis McGee is not really buried in the Artesia Cemetery where his headstone is located. Some years ago this family member found the headstone in Greene County Alabama. It was piled up in a corner of a field suggesting a farmer had taken gravestones and moved them to one location so he could farm the land. This family member put the stone in his car and brought it to Artesia to be erected near his daughter's (Emily McGee Smith) grave. The other headstones at that location in Green County were unidentifiable.
