"On this site was the first of our city's three Masonic cemeteries &
served Masons and Protestants alike. It has been virtually unused since
1905, although the latest tombstone reads 1954. The earliest recorded
death was 1868. A.G. Maxwell donated this land to Abbeville Lodge No.
192 F. & A. M. in 1869. The first Master of the lodge, Dr. W.D. White
was buried here as were several of his children. Restoration of the
cemetery began in 1997 by dedicated volunteers under the auspices of the
City of Abbeville, current owner of this sacred soil."
