From U. S. Highway 11, take 3rd Street going east, merge into East Adamsburg Road. At the five way intersection, turn right on Dogtown Road and travel about 1.5 miles until you reach Jennings Road which deadends across from the entrance to the cemetery. At one time, a church named Huskey's Chapel was adjacent to the cemetery and the old road went past the church, but that structure is no longer present and the road was rerouted to its current roadbed about 1950. The cemetery is sometimes referred to as the "Jennings Cemetery" possibly due to its location. ***The survey starts at the back in the newest section and goes toward the front of the cemetery as you read down the list.*** ***The term "marker" means a marble, cement, or cinder block was on the gravesite but no information was on the marker. Rock marker means the grave was identified by a native stone placed at the head of the grave, sometimes with a foot stone also in place.*** Wayne Wilson Jackson--Aug10, 1944-Nov 3, 1997--Precious Lord take my hand Mary L.
