    Gable, Wessinger and Shull Plots, Mount Tabor Lutheran Cemetery,
    Delree Street, West Columbia, Lexington County, SC


    Daniel S. Shull, Jr.: "The graves in the Gable plot were originally located at the Gable homesite in the Saluda River Valley, Lexington County, SC. This homesite is now covered by the waters of Lake Murray. The graves were relocated to Mt. Tabor Cemetery sometime prior to 1930, when Lake Murray was filled."
