ya the marker of a teen buried at a ville cemetery declares. hath done what she reads an epitaph in the Old Biloxi Cemetery for a woman who bequeathed her money to support preachers, their widows and orphans. sad to part with those we love, to lay them in the grave, and say farewell to a dazzling child, we would have died to is no doubt a message on the gravestone of a child who died at age 5 and 11 months. Indeed, there are sad stories a single date on the marker for a child who was born and died the same day, or the identical date on the side-by-side graves of an infant and woman who died in childbirth. But then there are mementos like a can of Budweiser on a grave, or a sign at the grave of an Ocean Springs Greyhounds fan, that are reminders the person buried there is loved.

An internet search for the list of cemeteries in the three Coast counties returns more than 100 locations, and still more family plots probably make the list. Each cemetery has its own spirit and personality and some are legendary. The Garden of Hope Cemetery on a back road in Gautier is private and locked, but on several lists of scariest cemeteries in the state and country. Legend has it that a man who killed his wife and five children with an ax are buried together there. One of the daughters has been seen wandering the cemetery in a blue dress.

The Rock Roll Graveyard, as called, is down a country road dappled with sun rays through the trees, not far from downtown Ocean Springs. Amid the pretty setting, people claim to be spooked by a woman in white sitting in a rocking chair. the dead ones got to worry said Tony Murphy, evoking an often-used quote. worked in cemeteries for 25 years at Monuments in St. Martin.

Recently at Evergreen Ceme- tery in Ocean Springs, he and his crew were restoring the family plot, where former Biloxi Mayor Jerry was buried recently. The cemetery meanders among the trees and has views of the bayou. a fine piece of Murphy said. He sandblasts names, dates and epitaphs into the granite, and recently inscribed one for a woman about an elevator ride to the top. The epitaph costs $5 a letter, he said, so a simple runs a little over $50 while a my drink, love is more expensive and more of a statement.

Fall is the time for cemetery tours in south Mississippi to recall those made a difference in the community. also a good time to wander through the cemeteries and see others who left an impression.
