Turn off hiway 54 onto Blue Bell Road and continue 13 miles E and the cemetery is located on the left hand side of the blacktop on the corner of road O and U. This cemetery is small and unkept and a metal gate is wired shut across the entrance. This cemetery is not in use and has not been for many yrs and was started in the early 1900's. A hand drawn map of the cemetery and notes was made many yrs ago by Margaret Jannett Long, mother to Frank Long and in the 1920's she had helped maintain this cemetery. I personally walked this small unkept cemtery myself April 22,2002 and recorded the following data and added the notes and names as recorded on the hand drawn map as well. It is stated by the Miller Mortuary that when the people who owned this cemetery  passed away, the records were lost and there is not a complete listing of people buried here, to anyone's knowledge.  In the late 1980's, the Scout troup went out to this small cemetery and cleaned it up and located and marked many of the unknown graves, with metal markers from Miller Mortuary.  If anyone knowing or having further info regarding this cemetery or persons buried here, and wish to donate information, please contact Michelle Wiggins ksseward@myrealbox.com who overseas this site or Laura Ball at dball@swko.net so that information can be added. This cemetery is not kept up and if vistors should stop by, please use caution during the warm months, as snakes are frequent in this area and can be dangerous.
