SBAGS Cemetery Locations
One Clay Township ground no longer exists. The society's list carries McCombs, Clay Township, Section 35, T38N R2E, in words that close the matter: "This cemetery no longer exists. It was located where Lake Marion is on the campus of St. Mary's College," all headstones gone and no records associated with the burials at that location. The name is a founding name — Lambert McCombs was of the township's first settlement, 1829 — but the entry names no McCombs burial and this article claims none; the ground prints as what its record proves: a township burying ground of the settlement era, under a college lake today, its dead unrecorded at any carrier reached. It is this section's standing reminder that a sweep lists survivals as well as grounds: of the township's burial places, this one survives only as a list entry.
