From Milan city limit, going toward Gibson (Hwy.70A & 79). First road 
to the left(Mullins Lane). On a Hill back of the house on the Cantrell's 
Farm (Eventide) is a wooden fence in area. Inside this area is a gazebo 
and a iron fence area for the cemetery.

Inside the gazebo is a 4 sided monument with a small girl with arms 
uplifted (La Brezza). A bronze plaque is on the monument.
    And in that quiet garden-
    The garden of her heart-
    Songbirds are always singing-
    Their songs of cheer apart.
    And from it floats forever,
    o'ercoming sin and strife,
    sweet as the breath of roses 
    blown,
    the fragrance of her life.
    Our Beloved
    Marcia Jean Cantrell

At the iron gate to the cemetery is a Bronze plaque.

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions,
perhaps it
is because he hears a different drummer.  Let
Him step to
the music he hears however measured or
far away."

This is a very well kept cemetery.
