We must be on a cemetery tour or something because here’s another mysterious graveyard. Where is it? Send your guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.
Our previous Mystery Photo
Our June 3 mystery, “This one could be tough,” turned out to be pretty easy for several familiar sleuths who identified the photo the cemetery across from St. Philip’s Church in Charleston. The big clue, of course, as the tomb of John C. Calhoun.
Congratulations to Paul Hedden on James Island; Bud Ferillo of Columbia; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Eric Hansel, James McMahan, and Wes Richburg, all of Charleston; Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.; and Don Clark and Bill Segars, both of Hartsville.
Graf added, “According to genealogytrails.com: Known as the lighthouse church because a light placed in its steeple helped guide ships to port, St. Philip’s was constructed 1835-38. Charlestonians are buried in the graveyard next to the church. Non-Charlestonians, including John C. Calhoun, are buried on across the street.”
- Send us a mystery: If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!) Send it along to editor@charlestoncurrents.com.
