The cemetery helps document the history of many prominent families in the area, from its founding into the 20th century. Many gravestones were carved by three generations of master craftsmen from Charleston, including over fifty signed or attributable to stonecutters Rowe and White, John White, William T. White, Robert D. White, and Edwin R. White.[3]
The markers include marble, granite, sandstone, and slate headstones, as well as footstones, obelisks, pedestal-tombs, box tombs, table-top tombs, and tablets. Art on the markers and tombs includes simple engraving and ledgers with motifs of angels, doves, lambs, open Bibles, weeping willows, palmettos, flowers, wreaths, and ivy.[3]
