On two maps, the Barnett Cemetery is listed just off Hwy 1054 (west side), about 
0.2 of a mile north of the intersection of 1054 and 40.  According to a Fleming family
member, and the wife of the pastor of the Mt. Olive Church, Fleming is the name of 
that one, and Barnett and Mt. Olive are the names of the two at the rear of the church.
