Take Hwy 69 (Harrison Street) from Batesville toward Newark for about 10 and 1/2 miles from Wal-mart. Turn right onto Waldrip Road. Follow it (it turns sharply to the right)for not quite a half a mile. On the left is a barbed wire gate with a rectangular sign that says "Magness Cemetery In use for over 200 years". Follow the path to the strand of trees-inside is the cemetery. At the time I took this survey, it was very overgrown with weeds and brambles (some as high as my head). I may have missed some stones, but my husband and I trampled through most of the area. Many were broken, missing and/or unreadable.
