" I ve loved them since I was a child in Chesterfield County, Corey
said. My Aunt Ella would take me for walks to the cemetery for fun.
Now I like them as an adult because they are history written in
stone. And now that lifelong interest is the subject of a
justpublished book titled Georgetown County s Historic Cemeteries,
one of the latest tomes in the Images of America series produced by
Arcadia Publishing of Charleston. The book features nine historic
cemeteries in Georgetown County, most of them located on the
Waccamaw Neck, but some in the city of Georgetown s historic
district." South Strand News
"Death is not the end. For author Sharon Corey of The Reserve
community, cemeteries keep people s stories alive. She has used the
tombstones of people who left their marks in life to write
Georgetown County s Historic Cemeteries, published by Images of
America.
Corey, a native of Chesterfield County who moved to the area in
2007, has a lifelong fascination with cemeteries that she combines
with genealogy. While her book has hundreds of pictures of grave
markers, she has spent the bulk of her time researching the lives
of those interred centuries ago."
