The oldest burying ground is located at Yankee Hall Cemetery. Other old family cemeteries include. John Simpson’s cemetery on Hwy. 33 and the Col. John Hardee cemetery on what is now Tenth Street. In Greenville, two very old cemeteries were located between Evans and Cotanche Streets, about the site of the Attic nightclub. The few stones found were moved to Cherry Hill Cemetery.
