BANKS CEMETERY ( Black Cemetery)

by June England Tuck and Deborah Tuck Young

Cemetery is located in the northwest part of Hopkins County. From the
Sulphur Springs town square, take Hwy 154 north to Birthright. At
Birthright turn left on FM road 71 to Peerless. This cemetery is hard to
find, and it would be best to ask someone in the Peerless community as to
its location. It lies in a pasture on the left side of the road between
Peerless and Emblem. Can't be seen from the road. Cemetery in very bad
condition.
