New Providence Cemetery
Greene County, Mississippi


 
Traveling south on highway 63 from Leakesville, Mississippi, you will go south about 5 miles and cross under the new
Highway 63 By-Pass. Just as you pass this intersection there will be a saw mill on your right and across from this saw mill is
New Providence Cemetery. The cemetery is located on one of the highest points in this area, overlooking many acres of timberland.
There is a chain link fence surrounding the cemetery and it is in good condition. There are several unmarked graves  in the cemetery.
The cemetery belongs to New Providence Church and is maintained by the members of the church as well as family members of those buried here.
The cemetery was walked by Jimmy Trussell, carverofwood1260@wmconnect.com on April13th, 2007
and all information gathered was taken from headstone inscriptions and temporary grave markers.
