SDFM Talk: Jones Family Cemetery on Pig Neck Road

Speaker - Mr. Art Wheatley
Art was born and raised in the Neck District of Dorchester County. After 6 years at a 2-room school in the Neck District, then Junior High and High School in Cambridge, he chose a career with the Marine Corps - and later with the Department of Defense - that took him far from Dorchester County and the Eastern Shore. After retirement, however, he returned to Dorchester's N3eck District in 2003.
While graves of many relatives from days-gone-by are scattered throughout the county, state and country, graves of seven generations of Joneses from Art's mother's side of his family are in one small cemetery located on Dorchester County's Pig Neck Road.
While serving as caretaker of the cemetery, Art researched and transcribed records of the land upon which the cemetery is located, and amassed hundreds of photos of the cemetery throughout the years. He hopes members of the public will enjoy a condensed version of his onerous compilation of records and photos of this "special little graveyard".
