Turn left on Hwy. 90. Go about 1.5 miles. Church is on the right down a dirt road. There is a sign posted before you turn onto the dirt road. There is another Church in the same vicinity known as MT. Union Church. These are two completely different Churches. **NOTE**I attempted to place the graves according to rows, beginning on the back row, however somehow got confused while transcribing so some of the grave will be out of order. I apologize for that. A number of the older stones have inscriptions or poems and when I could make them out I included them in ( ). Anything in { } is from my notes. If you believe that I have typed something wrong by mistake, please let me know.
