You will go 9.3 miles and there will be an intersection on your left with Mt. Rose Circle. Take this left hand turn and go .3 tenths of a mile. Here on you right will be an unnamed woods road leading off into the woods. Take this road and now go another .2 tenths of a mile. This cemetery will be located on your right inside an area that was once fenced in. At this time the cemetery is covered by downed trees, high grass and weeds.I was able to locate 15 graves that contained information, there were a few that had small white crosses, but no names and several unmarked graves. Information was taken from headstone and concrete slab inscriptions. Jimmy Trussell walked the cemetery on the 9th of Feb. 2008. There is a small sign beside the road leading to this cemetery that notifies you that you are entering Government Land. This is on the edge of the De Soto National Forest, where it comes into a part of George County, Mississippi.
