Abstracted By: Jimmy Trussell

Travel south on highway 57 out of Benndale, Mississippi. 
You will go 3.1 miles and on your left will be Mixon Lake 
Road. Take this left hand turn and now go 1.4 miles where 
the road will "Y". You will take a right at the "Y", on 
Parker Cemetery Road. Now you will go another .8 tenths of 
a mile to the dead end of this road. You will be in the 
driveway of a private home. Jimmy Trussell got permission 
from the homeowner to walk the cemetery. There was a chain 
link fence around the cemetery, which is in need of a good 
cleanup. This homeowner told me of one grave that is 
located outside the fenced in area to the left side of the 
cemetery. As you will see this burial on the outside of the 
fence took place 73 years after the last known burial 
inside the fence. I was unable to establish ownership of 
this cemetery, the last know burial in it was in 1929. All 
information was taken from headstone inscriptions, one of 
which was a Civil War Veteran.
