Leaving Lucedale Mississippi on Highway 26 West, you will come to the highway overpass that crosses highway 63. After you cross this overpass continue west another 14½ miles, church and cemetery will be on your left.

In Benndale MS driving south on Hwy 57S, turn right or west onto Hwy 26W and continue about 3.5 miles. The cemetery will be on the left or south side of Hwy 26W beside the church.

The cemetery is surrounded by a chain link fence and is in very good condition. The cemetery belongs to the Pinewood Baptist Church and they provide all maintenance for the cemetery.

I walked this cemetery on Dec 04, 2007, and the information was gathered using all existing and legible headstone inscriptions and temporary grave markers.
