Show morePhoto of the Warrington-Woolsey civilian burial ground in Warrington taken February 6, 1917. It was located just outside the west wall of the US Navy Yard Pensacola. This photo was taken after it was cleaned of the overgrowth and the fencing and headstones are now clearly visible. The cemetery was established in the 1830s by the residents of Old Warrington, Woolsey, and a nearby tent city of laborers. The historical marker is in the yeard at Quarters 12 on Billingsley Drive, NAS Pensacola. On September 1, 1930 the Navy revoked housing permits for Warrington residents and contracted with Waters and HIbbits to relocate 840 bodies along with many of the original head stones, most to an area now known as Barrancas National Cemetery, others to St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, and a few to cemeteries of the family's choosing. This was accomplished between May 31, 1931 and June 28, 1935. At first Barrancas Cemetery and the old cemetery remained separate but Barrancas subsumed it over the years. The old cemetery is now situated in the approximate center of Barrancas in a large stand of live oaks and delineated by a row of small boxwoods. The iron fence that used to surround it is now gone.
