The cemetery will be in the woods on the left after .3 (3 tenths) miles. The following cemetery data is based primarily on that taken by Hazel Garrett, Maggie P. Crenshaw, and Gladys Teer Hamric and published in Choctaw County Mississippi Cemeteries by Hazel Crenshaw Garrett and Louis Taunton. The data has been sorted by death date to allow one to see how the Bankston Cemetery (which is all that remains of one of the largest manufacturing centers in Mississippi at the time of the Civil War) developed in the time from 1852 through 1995. The notes are based on those recorded in the book and on genealogical research by Louise Fox, Gerald Fox and Joe Fox. The cemetery is thought to contain many unmarked graves.
