I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish 
of your bereavement,and leave you only the cherished 
memory of the  loved and lost,and the solemn pride that 
must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon 
the altar of Freedom. 
Abraham Lincoln, November 1864

This list of cemeteries located in Sumter County, Florida has been compiled from the US Geological Survey 
and from what the people of Sumter sent to us. It should not be taken as a complete list of cemeteries in the
county, as many small private cemeteries exist in this old part of Florida. If you know of a cemetery that you 
feel should be listed, please forward that info to and I will have put up as soon as possible. Also note that for
a reimburstment fee of expenses a picture of the grave site can be taken and sent to you.
Thank you all for your input!
