I
have names for some there. Many have no headstones and some of the info. I got
off of the name plates. You can tell alot have been buried there by the many
areas that are sunk in, but no markers.
The names I have aren't very old. The oldest I have, died in 1933 but most are
1980 and up. I have about 33 names or dates.
These aren't in any certain order. The cemetery didn't have defined rows.
Directions to the cemetery: Take I-55 to the Marion exit. At the
light, head East, this is Hwy. 64 (Military Rd.). Stay on this road until you go
over a set of railroad tracks at the stop sign, precede on this road for a mile
or more until you see the small cemetery on the right. Surrounded by cotton
fields.
