Abstract
Over its 200 years of history Columbia has had three different public city cemeteries. The first was abandoned by the town and turned over to local churches. The second was abandoned by the town and sold to a railroad. The third, while still largely extant, has also been largely abandoned by the City. It has not even attracted the interest of local genealogists or historians, perhaps because the cemetery has been incorrectly viewed exclusively as a pauper graveyard.
