Beersheba Cemetery, York, SC
This page contains photos of tombstones of the Sutton family in Beersheba Presbyterian Cemetery in York County, that I have located and photographed. If you have a Sutton Tombstone photo and would like to share with me, please let me know and I may feature it on this page. Take the time to visit these stones, if you are in the area, as they are getting old and won't be legible for many more years. I hope to start a fund raiser to buy markers for these graves. Email me for directions on locating the stones in each cemetery. |
