HERLONG CEMETERY 


This cemetery’s earliest marked grave is in the early 1870’s.  The cemetery is located on the Brandywine Road in County District 5, across from the property of Robert Isaac (Ike) Price, a descendant of the Herlong family. 

 

Here is a picture from an old newspaper clipping ( Port Gibson Reveille from the 50's) of  the symbol used on many graves throughout Claiborne County, not necessarily Presbyterian.  The caption reads, "the familiar pointing hand motif associated with the steeple of the First Presbyterian Church of Port Gibson."

Such a motif (without the wreath) is found on the grave marker of David Herlong.
