April 23, Abbeville: Long Cane Cemetery, A National Historic Place, dating from 1760.

Didn't especially know about this place and it's significance, it is a really really old cemetery, and a big one to boot.

It's located just out of town.  There were several find a grave requests, but this place was just too large.  Several of the older grave sites were barely legible as well. 

Upper Long Cane Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Abbeville, South Carolina, founded c, 1760. Over 2,500 marked graves and numerous unmarked graves cover the cemetery's approximately 25 acres. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
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 stone-cutters Rowe and White, John White, William T. White, Robert D. White, and Edwin R. White.
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.
