Location:  West on 463 a short way to the intersection with Mannsdale Road 
go north approximately 1.1 miles on Bozeman Road.  The cemetery is located 
on a road to the left approximately 500 feet off Bozeman Road. A road around 
the cemetery was made in order to preserve the cemetery in developing a new 
subdivison.	

"The cemetery is located in a pasture near the road but inaccessible from the 
road.  It is enclosed in an iron grill fence approx.  36 by 36 feet, with 
heavy iron corner posts, part of the fence has fallen and 8 or 9 large cedars 
and a large oak tree have grown up in and around the graves.  Although only 
three graves are marked, the size of the enclosure would indicate that it was 
intended for more of the family. This cemetery was also found the Mississippi 
Genelogical Society's  Cemetery and Bible Records (Volume XIII) 1969, pp. 125-126.  
Therefore we have added the facts which are contained in this one as follows:

by Mr. Murray Cox, Sr.  The house was built by Hugh Lewis in 1840, the timber

pegs were used in the construction.  Even the disjoined kitchen still stands 
and is used for storage.  Majestic trees surround the house.  The cemetery is
