Note: I located this cemetery by going from Hwy 106 West on to County Road 15. at the cross roads of Hwy 15 and Co road 16, take a right and go .6 miles on a dirt road, there will be a yellow iron pipe gate on the left. .5 miles into the road is a group of trees that have not been cut, it will be on the left side of the logging road and after you turn left as the roads seems to make a Y the cemetery will be on the right side of that road. There is a very old iron wire fence around the area where the Bennett's are buried and where a couple of graves have been dug into. the rest of the markers are on the outside of this fence. This is an all but abandoned cemetery in much need of care. Tommy Beverly of the Long Creek Community was kind enough to take me in on a 4 wheeler since it is locked property at this time. Much thanks to him for his assistance in getting these pictures. See original survey notes at bottom.
