LOCATION: The Bosarge Cemetery is located in the northwest corner of Lot 3 of Section 15, T7S-R9W in Jackson County. It is situated on the east bank of Bayou St. Martin in the St. Martin Community just west of the Southwind Country Club.
DIRECTIONS: From the intersection of Bienville Boulevard (US 90) and Washington Avenue at Ocean Springs, go north on Washington Avenue 2 miles to LeMoyne Boulevard. Turn west (left) on to LeMoyne and go 1.67 miles to Sundown Avenue. At Sundown turn south (left) and proceed .51 miles to Cemetery Road. At Cemetery Road go west (right) .35 miles to the Bosarge Cemetery located on the south side of the road.
HISTORY: Although the Bosarge family name has become associated with this cemetery, the deed records of Jackson County indicate that the land has always been owned by others. The cemetery is believed to have acquired the name Bosarge because the first person probably buried here is John Eugene Bosarge (1861-1886) who was killed in a coal kiln accident at Slidell, Louisiana. It is interesting to note that Mary Louise Adkinson in Bouzage-Bosarge Family (1991) relates that the Bosarge family had a cemetery on the "old Reno" place near the shore of Biloxi Bay in Section 14, T7S-R9W. This cemetery has disappeared probably the result of shoreline erosion by storms through the years.
The land on which the Bosarge Cemetery is located was originally patented to John Alexander Quitman in 1841.(JXCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 57, p. 504).
Through the years, Lot 3 has been owned by the Elders (1862), Elmers (1878), Dicks (1886), and Professor S.M. Tracy (1889). Professor Tracy (1847-1920) was a Vermont born botanist who headed the U.S. Department of Agriculture experimental station at McNeil. He settled in the area now called Langley Point which was sold to V.C. Langley after his death (Jackson County Deed Book 50, pp. 168-169).
Professor Tracy sold Lot 3 to J.D. Patton of Bradley County, Tennessee in 1917. Susan B. Patton, an heir of J.D. Patton, lost the land for taxes in 1930 to Evelyn Hunt Conner.(JXCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 43, pp. 145-146 and JXCO, Ms. Chancery Court Tax Sale Book 1 p. 244).
Evelyn Hunt Conner conveyed one acre for the Bosarge Cemetery to the Point St. Martin Cemetery Association in August 1935 (Jackson County Deed Book 68, p. 197). It is believed that various families in the area such as, Borries, Bullock, and Seymour have taken care of the
Bosarge Cemetery. Its present status is well kept.
