 Driving west on Highway 4, as soon as you cross the Mound Bayou
 bridge, turn sharply to the right on an old road, past a towering 
 brick chimney, to a field on your left. Park on the field
 road, and to the right is a grove of trees and underbrush. 
 the Lynch Cemetery is on the left end of the grove, marked  
 by several massive trees. A fence encloses the cemetery.
