Burford's cemetery is the oldest known graveyard in the southern part of DeSoto County, MS, which in 1873, became part of the newly formed Tate County, MS. Solomon Burford died unexpectedly on February 27, 1837 in Marshall County, MS. This territory was just recently opened, so there were no established cemeteries. His sons brought him to DeSoto Co., (now Tate Co.), and buried him on his friend, Steven Nowlen's property, which established this early cemetery.
