Survey by: Wayne N. Carpenter on July 3, 2000. Originally typed by Betty James Smith.

Cemetery and tombstone photos by Angela Boynton Cassidy 2006. Where the surname is in color, you can click
to see the monument or marker. When the given name is also in color, that means there is a second photo,
either close up for viewing dates better or there's a military plaque.

Directions: From the traffic light (9th Ave and Hwy 27) intersection in Havana, FL, go north on U.S. Hwy. 27 to
the unincorporated community of Hinson. Turn right on Williams Street and go .2 miles, leaving pavement and going
onto a dirt road) to the cemetery on the left side of the road. It is enclosed by a chain link fence and is watched
over by two huge, old, live oak trees. The cemetery is about 1/2 acre in size and half of it is empty. It is well
maintained, but the stones appear to have never been cleaned and some are hardly readable due to the mildew from
being in the shade of the trees. Some very early Gadsden County settlers are buried here./Angela Cassidy 2006
