COMING SOON in May 2024!
This new biographies page is a work-in-progress with students at SCHS. Students are hard at work researching and writing biographies of several notable residents of Grove Hill Cemetery. Biography links below will become active late May.
Small plaques near each corresponding stone will have a QR Code for easy access to this webpage.
A Project Based Learning Partnership of Shelby County High School Junior History Class 2024, Friends of Grove Hill Cemetery,
