Go through New Prospect to CR 266 and turn right (south). Go around the curve, pass the church, and the cemetery is on the right. There is a map below but road numbers have been reassigned recently. NOTE: Empty plots are not shown in the catalog. Cora Green Wright contacted me about this little cemetery and put me in touch with Ms. Carnell Lewis Wright who generously donated the catalog of Antioch Cemetery. Ms. Wright is very helpful and a gracious lady. "Antioch Memorial Garden, an extension of the Prospect Cemetery, was acquired in February, 1965. The cemetery is located about 8 miles northeast from the city of Henderson on State Highway 43, County Road 266, beginning at the southeast corner of the Antioch Church lot. "The cemetery is an African American burial ground for people maintained by individuals and a caretaker. Readable markers or headstones identify burial places. "(Vet) denotes the person served in war. "(NM) means no name is visible or there is nothing showing where the person is buried." - Carnell Lewis Wright.
