Founded in 1829 and expanded in 1877, Live Oak Cemetery features many original markers. It is a contributing property to the Selma Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s noted for the dozen or so Victorian monuments in the cemetery. It earned its name after Colonel Dawson donated 80 Live Oaks and 80 Magnolia trees to be planted in the cemetery.
Established in the 1870s, the Silver Brook Cemetery is the second city cemetery established by the town of Anderson. It’s a 40 acre cemetery with over 15,000 burials. It is at capacity, and no more plots are available for purchase.
The cemetery features several Victorian monuments.
The Tate Cemetery serves as the family cemetery for the Tate and Griffith families. It is a very elaborate family cemetery, which is not a surprise. This is the cemetery for the family of the Tate Marble Company.
Located in Oak Hill Cemetery, this monument memorializes Augusta Williams (1894-1901) who passed away at the age of 7. The tree represents a life cut short.
