The efforts by CCC to delineate the Dr. White Cemetery on St. Helena Island were accomplished in 2007 and that work is documented in their research; report (Battle and Battle 2007). The present LAMAR Institute publication provides additional opinions and observations about this cemetery delineation. The current landowner of the cemetery, Mr. John Clements, took an important step in searching for the boundaries of the cemetery so that it may be protected. The delineation of the cemetery by means of historical research, archaeological survey, ground penetrating radar survey (GPR) and backhoe testing, shovel shaving and mapping accomplished that goal. The work that was done represents a reasonable, good faith effort to define the cemetery boundaries.
