Marks Cemetery Records submitted by
The first street after McDonald's is Lamar Avenue. Turn west on Lamar Avenue. Take Lamar Avenue until itMr. Leopold Marks is the founder of the city of Marks, Quitman County, Mississippi
(approximately 1885). Mr. Marks' son,
Henry, owned the land where the cemetery is located. Henry donated the land
to the township of
Marks and the cemetery was owned and operated by the township of Marks, and
later by the city of
Marks. The cemetery was used for the first time about 1913. In 1996, the First
Marks Cemetery Association was formed.
The cemetery is now owned and operated by First Marks Cemetery Association.
It is a self perpetuating cemetery and
all donations to First Marks Cemetery Association are tax deductible. First
Marks Cemetery Association has made
many improvements to the cemetery since 1996 including improved drainage, a
fence, and repair of headstones,
and removal of trees. There are some unmarked graves in the cemetery.
The care and maintenance of the cemetery is made possible through donations
to:
First Marks Cemetery Association
P.O. Box 332
Marks, MS 38646
The cemetery is owned by First Marks Cemetery Association. Each fifth Sunday
First Baptist Church of Marks,
Marks United Methodist Church, and the Presbyterian Church have a united worship
service. The offering on this
day is donated to First Marks Cemetery Association. Each church takes a turn
hosting the event.
I have divided the cemetery into sections. The section numbers are mine, not
the cemetery. I divided the
cemetery into sections because it was too large to get done all in one day.
I will send each section as I get it done.
Located in Marks, Quitman County, Mississippi
