Take a left hand turn and go 6.0 miles. Here will be the intersection with Barton & Agricola Road on the left and Grain Elevator road on your right. Take a right hand turn here and go 1.5 miles, where you will ses a sign on your left 'Mount Pleasant Cemetery', take a left at the sign. This is a grassy and dirt road that will dead end at the cemetery (.3 tenths of a mile). You will need to stay to the left and park on the left hand side of the first visible graves. The cemetery is very grassy and some graves are not visible until you reach them. I was given permission to walk this cemetery on April 26th, 2007 by Mr. Solly Cowan (a cemetery trustee). All information gathered was taken from headston inscriptions and temporary grave markers. There are many unmarked graves in this cemetery. We also find both World War One and World War Two veterans buried here.
