Magnolia Cemetery and beyond Magnolia cemetery The Cunnington family founded the property, in totally they had bought 1500 acres in 1850 and used it as a rice plantation.

It was originally called Magnolia Umbra Plantation. The family did build a 5 bedroom plantation home on the property. Not long after the family settling on the property did some business me from Charleston find their way to the plantation and ask to buy it off the families hands after they noticed that the family was becoming uninterested in rice farming. So Charleston started with 90 acres of 1500 to start using it for a cemetery. They were slowing facing bankruptcy and seemed to take on more than they thought. so after civil war happened they needed to figure out what to do with the deceased military men. so where else better to bury them, than in Magnolias, in their own section. after that Magnolia seemed to blossom. it now seems that a whole assortment of people how found this cemetery as their final resting place. As the maker of this page, i will do my best to post as many pictures and their stories and many other stories to this page. I will in the very near future have a website and a podcast linking to this page to give more in-depth information
