Fort Meade Colored Cemetery
Located in Ft Meade, Polk County, FL
Listing originally donated to Polk County FLGenWeb by Mary Spearman Williams and Rhonda M. Williams, by 3 Mar 1999
Located .8 miles west of Bowling Green, FL on the north side of County Line Road in Polk County, Florida.
According to the Chamber of Commerce in Fort Meade, Fl, this cemetery is known locally as the "Fort Meade Colored Cemetery." It appears that a tornado may have passed over the northeast corner of the cemetery, because several large oak trees have fallen across some of the graves. Someone has attempted to remove some of the debris but may have abandoned the project.
Errors may exist in this transcription because many of the tombstones were covered with moss and difficult to read.
