These headstones are the last remaining stones in the Dargan Cemetery in Sumter, SC. The cemetery is now on private property and the other stones have been lost or removed by various people over the years. The current owners were kind enough to let the photographer, Michael Dillingham, take these photos to place on Find A Grave just a few months ago in order to fulfill my request for pictures.

How fortunate that you got photos of these stones before the cemetery was no more!
ReplyDeleteThere was a Reverend Dargan in the Black Creek Church that my Kirven ancestors attended in Darlington in the 1800s. One example of a middle name "Dargan" in my family, for a son who died in infancy. Can't find any Vaughns, though.
Between your ancestors and mine, we must "cover" a lot of the South!
Or at least all of Sumter County!! Haha!
