Watch for HV Chandler Rd. (CR 274) which is the first road to the right from the traffic light. You will see a stone business to the left and a sign for Trus Joist (Parallam; see photo) in the far corner of HV Chandler and Hwy 72. Turn onto HV Chandler Rd. The cemetery is between the highway and railroad tracks in the stand of trees on the rise opposite the sign for Trus Joist. The only parking available is in the area cleared around the Trus Joist sign. The best place to enter the cemetery is about half way between the highway and the tracks from H. V. Chandler Rd. You will need to zig zag to the left, then the right through the deer path to make the walk easier. This cemetery is in very bad shape, so one should be very careful where to watch their step. Because of its condition, I could not get good orientation photographs, and some of the stones are not with the proper graves as is evidenced by the ones for Mary, Lee Ernest and Archible Young. Their stones were in the plot of Lula B. Patton. As you make your way into the cemetery, the first stone you will probably see will be Willie A. Burroughs. Standing at his stone, to your far right will be Reece Hoyt Burroughs, and following a line south from him, to the far left will be Mary Young Burroughs and her twins Eula and Eura. >From Wille, ' about ' due west, next to the highway is Eliza Bell. All the rest are within the square / oval made by these four points. BELL, Eliza wife of William Bell Born Sep, (20-30), 1820 Died May 2, 1896 Inscsription: We miss thee from our home dear, We miss thee from thy place, A shadow o'er our life is cast, We miss the sunshine of thy face.

BURROUGHS, Reece Hoyt Sept. 6, 1885 - Jan. 12, 1976 (Most recent grave in cemetery.) BURROUGHS, Willie A. July 1, 1885 - Aug. 10, 1920 Inscription: On thee our fond and tender thoughts will ever dwell. PATTON, Lula B. 1866 - 1960 PATTON, Lula B. and friends Stones of Mary, Lee Ernest and Archible Young were found here. Lee Ernest was unearthed to her right, Archible to her left, and Mary at her feet. There was evidence that, at one time, the stones of Lee Ernest and Archible had been glued back together. Her grave had a modern granite border, and with the closeness of the stones at her head, I seriously doubt these were their original locations. They most likely belong in a couple of the unidentified bases. PATTON, Lula B. before This is how I found Lula and friends before I cleared some of the debris. THRELKELD, Infant Son of W. G. & M. M.
