This project will catalog and document all burials in Blakely Cemetery , located in rural Covington County, Mississippi. This free space page for the Blakely Cemetery is part of WikiTree's Mississippi Cemeteries Project, and was created to document the life and times of our ancestors that are interred there. The Mississippi Cemeteries Project is a sub-project of the larger U.S. Cemeteries Project.

This page is a work in progress, and will remain so until the Table of Interments (below) is completed. The Table of Interments is a sortable listing of persons interred at this cemetery, some or all of whom are linked to existing WikiTree profiles. If you know of a person interred at this cemetery that should be linked to an existing WikiTree profile, or needs to have a profile created for them, please contact Myrtis Bishop for assistance.

To Do

• Link existing profiles or create new profiles for persons listed in the Table of Interments

When complete, everyone listed in the Table of Interments will be linked to their own WikiTree profile, and to a photo of that person's corresponding grave marker. The created profiles can include other genealogical and biographical information as well as a listing of sources for documentation.

Profile and photo links and transcribed information needs to be cross-checked to ensure accuracy.

• Create an audio/video tour of the cemetery

Record a virtual tour of the cemetery that can be viewed as downloadable media on computers, tablets or other device.
