You will travel 4.1 miles and this highway will deadend into the Highway 63 ByPass, take a left on this bypass and go 1.8 miles. Here will be the intersection with Basin-Refuge Road on your right. Take this right hand turn and go 1.5 miles. Here you will see the Refuge Methodist Church and cemetery on your left. Directly across the road from the back fence of the Refuge church cemetery, you will see where there was at one time an entrance into the large field in front of you. You will see a small wooded area in the middle of this field,this is the cemetery in this transcription. You will need permission from the landowner to enter this field to visit the cemetery. The cemetery was in poor condition, alot of brush, thorns, dead limbs..etc..There is only one headstone in this cemetery , however, there are five concrete slabs of various sizes near it. We cleaned the slabs, but there was no markings or dates found on them to tell us anything about who might be buried there. Marshall Stevens and Jimmy Trussell walked this cemetery on the 12th of January 2009.
