Drive right at 1 mile (you will cross over a low water bridge and also a cattle guard) until you come to a "Y" in the road. There you will see a sign with three cemeteries on it pointing to the right... follow this road on the right and you will drive about 1.3 and you will see Old Bethel on your left go past this cemetery and follow the dirt road you will see an old worn down community/church building you will need to turn on the dirt road to your right there. And park your vehicle there and walk down to the cemetery. The cemetery is just down the road a bit not far to walk. We would not recommend you going to this cemetery during the late Spring, Summer or early Fall as the snakes will be up and last year we went to transcribe it in April and you couldn't see the fence or cemetery for all the brush and grass was so grown up. But when we went this time (in February) the grass was cut and the cemetery looked really nice. So if someone is keeping it up now it would be okay to go any time of the year...but we've only been out there twice and so don't know if they keep it up or not. The road is pretty okay to drive on using a car or a low chasied vehicle, as long as you go slow and pay attention to where you're driving.. we went in a pickup just because wasn't sure of the terrian. Most of the unmarked graves someone has made bronze flat headstone with some kind of "idenity" on them, so there wasn't but just a few rocks without any writing or idenity. So most of everyone out there is "marked" in one way or another. We are trying to collect as many obits of these people as possible. So if anyone would like to contact us about or to share an obit we would appreciate it. I have made an alphabetical listing before the transcription so you can first see if whomever you're looking for is there... also under the transcription if I found any additional data in my research I added that in under the transcription in ( ). So anything in ( ) is just research I found on the internet so please follow up with it yourself and only use as a guide. We also have headstone pictures for everyone that has a headstone, and we can scan them for anyone who would like to see them. We feel like if we all share with one another then these people's memories will always be.
