The cemetery was then re-surveyed, updated, and photographed on May 8, 2006, by Cindy Whirley Nelson and Paulette Parker Whirley. There are many unmarked graves in this cemetery, and due to a fallen tree, it was impossible to photograph approximately eight stones. LOCATION: Travel approximately 8.5 miles on Highway 25 South from Iuka, Mississippi. Turn left on County Road 55, and travel 1.9 miles. The church and cemetery are located on the left side of the road.
