Traveling west out of Lucedale, Mississippi on Highway 26 West, you will cross an overpass and a short time later you will see Shady Grove cemetery on your left. You will take a left hand turn on the next blacktop road, after you pass this cemetery. This is known as Old. Highway 26, stay on it for 1.3 miles. Here you will come to the intersection with Howell Mill road on your left. Take this left hand exit and go .6 tenths of a mile. Now on your right will be Howell Cemetery Road, take this right turn and go another .4 tenths of a mile. This road will dead end at the cemetery.
