Submitted By: Roberta Dooley, and by Nancy Trice nt@vci.net
Submission Date: 24-Aug-2002

The Estes/McKinney Cemetery is located off of Independence Ridge Road.
Turn left onto Independence Ridge Road as you go through Breeding (from
the Columbia direction). You will turn at what used to be the Breeding
Funeral Home. Go about 3 miles, past Fudge Cemetery and Greenbriar Road.
Past the Wells Chapel on the right there will be a gravel road. Take
that road and the first gravel road you will come to will be the
Estes/McKinney Cemetery Road. The house that is there is now owned by
Glenn Stotts, son of the late Ervin & Clarice Stotts. The cemetery is
behind the barn. Access is possible in any type of vehicle as the road,
as is the cemetery, is very well maintained.
