PLATT CEMETERY is located off Hwy 143 just south of Marion on Tiger Bend Road.
Go almost 1/2 mile from Marion city limits and turn left on Tiger Bend Road. 
Go 3.3 miles, and cemetery will be located on the left.

This is a fairly large, fenced-in cemetery and is well-kept.  There are only 
9 marked graves in it. There could be others, but no visible signs.

In "MISC INFO" column, "ho" means husband of, and "wo" means wife of.  If 
there was a veterans marker, it is noted in the MISC INFO with rank and branch
of service and where served as shown on the actual marker.
