Bascom Baptist Church Cemetery
This is an example of why so many of our ancestors graves have been lost. This group of unknown graves are found in the Bascom Baptist Church Cemetery with homemade wooded headstones. When these headstones deteriorate, the resting place of these people will be lost forever. Center GPS N30° 55.425' W85°7.165'
The biological and military information on the Bascom Baptist Church Cemetery page came from searching the internet. The majority of the biological information came from the Ancestory.com and from the Florida Confederate Pension Applications found on The State Library and Archives site. Photos and soldier list from Max Basford. Contact Ashley Pollette if you have information to add or if you see any mistakes.
The headstones in this cemetery have been loved to death. Someone cleaned them with a pressure cleaner, destroying the inscriptions on a good many of the stones.
