Directions: From caution light at Vernon on Hwy 146 & Hwy 148,
go north on Hwy 146 4.3 miles, turn left on Ebenezer Rd and go .3 miles.
Cemetery is on right side of the gravel road.

This cemetery is predominantly African-American.  These graves are to the right
front as you approach the cemetery, not well kept, and many stones are broken.
Local residents told me that these graves are Indians.  It does not seem logical
that these are Indians.  Doctors, military men and etc.
