You will go about .3 tenths of a mile, where you will come to the intersection on your left with Deep Creek Road. Take this left hand turn and now you will go 2.8 miles , here you will see Sweetwater Church and cemetery on your right. The cemetery belongs to the church and they provide upkeep for it, there is a chain link fence around it also. When you first see the cemetery you will notice a large number of small white crosses.There are 82 of these crosses, 59 have small metal name tags on them, and the other 29 do not have a name tag. When I list these names on the metal name tags, I will make a note of it. Jimmy Trussell walked this cemetery on the 5th of January 2008, and information was taken from headstone inscriptions, all legible temporary grave markers and these above mentioned small metal name tags.
