The McClendon Cemetery is located in the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 2, 
Township 23 N, Range 23 E.  From New Site take Highway 22 E for 4.5 miles to 
Oak Grove Church near Zana.  Just beyond the church turn right onto a dirt road.  
Travel south 1 mile and turn right.  This is the fourth hunting club road on the 
right and dead ends.  The cemetery is about 150 yards from the road on a knoll 
above Emuckfaw Creek.  The main dirt road, which is gated and locked was previously 
a public road but is now on privately owned land.  Permission must be obtained from 
the owner to visit the cemetery.  LINDA W. MEADOWS and JYL HARDY surveyed the 
cemetery in Feb. 2003.
