Calhoun County, FL.  It is located at approximately 85 degrees, 0 minutes, 4 seconds west 
Longitude and 30 degrees, 35 minutes north Latitude.  From the juncton of County Road (CR) 274 
and CR 69A in NE Calhoun County, go South on CR 69A approx 1.2 miles to Barton Cemetery Road, l
ocated on the east side ot CR 69A.   Drive approximately 600 yards on Barton Cemetery Road to 
the first 90 degree left turn.  Approx. 100 yards beyond the turn on the right side of the road 
is a metal gate with a narrow (10-12 feet wide) fenced lane.  This lane leads to Barton Family 
Cemetery.  You cannot turn around except at the Cemetery itself.  There are numerous unmarked 
graves, which were not counted.  This old cemetery is located in a wooded area and is no 
longer in use.  On the date of survey, it showed evidence of having some of the underbrush 
cleared, but much of the cemetery is overgrown.  All tombstones were recorded with a digital 
camera and the full set of photos plus this text file with this data will be placed in the 
Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah, for public use.  Original survey taken January 16, 2006.
