The Sumter County Preservation Society did not exist when Della Daughtry started the Wild Cow Prairie Cemetery project. Della is an independent citizen and freelance artist who wanted to save the forgotten cemetery in Sumter County and ensure it was being taken care of.
Della and her husband John Daughtry started going out to the Wild Cow Prairie Cemetery to take photos, research, and eventually wrote historical nominations for the cemetery that has gone to the state and national registries.
Della estimates that 95 to 98 percent of the headstones at the cemetery have been vandalized. “There’s four tombstones left that are not vandalized. We only originally knew about 16 graves, because there were only markers for 16 graves,” she explained.
