The first burial at this historic cemetery was in 1887 and it is 
still in use.  This is a very interesting cemetery with a variety 
of markers and a few above ground crypts, very uncommon in this 
area and especially for the time they were installed and used.
Directions to the cemetery:  Take Hwy 348 out of Delta 6.4 miles, 
there will be a dirt road on your left that heads east, turn and 
follow it around to the cemetery.  You can see the cemetery and its 
flag from the highway just before you turn on the road that takes 
you to it.   There is a small sign there at the beginning of the 
road that says PEA GREEN CEMETERY.  The cemetery is surrounded by 
private land so please stay on the main road.  There is a parking 
area outside of the cemetery.
