MITCHELL COUNTY		

RUSS MEMORIAL CEMETERY	

LOCATION: From the Red Hill intersection, drive 1.4 miles NW, towards 
Buladean. Just before you cross Big Rock Creek, you will see a dirt road 
on your right that leads up into the woods. The road has no name or marker, 
and is very easy to miss - it is immediately before the bridge. (If you 
cross the creek you have missed it.) Then drive a hundred yards or so up 
this road and you will come to an intersection of several dirt roads.   
Take the one that angles left, up the hill (not down). You will soon see 
the cemetery fence.

ACCESSIBILITY:   Easy.

CONDITION:   Very good.

OLDEST DATED GRAVE:   # 22, 1898.

SURNAMES:   BISHOP, BURLESON, BUTLER, BYRD, DOWELL, FORBES, FRANCIS, 
GARLAND, GOUGE, GREENE, LEDFORD, MILLER, MOFFITT, SHUFFLER, YELTON.
