B. F. Bowen Cemetery
Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina, USA
The information for this cemetery was obtained from the 1982 Eagle Scout project by Boy Scout Lael H. Hoopes. He compiled an inventory of the graves in the 26 cemeteries that were acquired by Fort Jackson in 1940 when the fort expanded to approximately 53,000 acres by acquiring land that was previously privately owned. This land included many small church and family cemeteries. The families of the deceased in these cemeteries were contacted and given the option of having their deceased relatives relocated to other area cemeteries. Some individual graves were relocated off post while others remained on Fort Jackson. In addition, several of the small churches chose to relocate their entire cemeteries off post.
Fort Jackson renamed many of the cemeteries to reflect the name of the property owner prior to the acquisition, so this cemetery may have previously been known by another name.
