It can be found in the 100 block of School Street next to the old Clarksdale High School. The property was donated to the Clarksdale Public School System with the stipulation that if the school system should ever quit using the property it would revert back to the Bobo family. This information was compiled by visiting the cemetery. Some of the inscriptions were unreadable, but on the most part the markers were well preserved. There is an iron fence surrounding the cemetery, and there is still a school near the site. There are no other families represented and there were no mention of maiden names, of the wives, on any of the markers.
