Travel northwest out of Lucedale, Mississippi on highway 198 about 4miles. Turn left onto highway 98 (going northwest), and go another mile. Here you will see a small store on your right (Carolyn's Grocery), directly across the highway on your left (south) turn onto Bexley Road South and continue for .2 mile. The cemetery will be on your right.

You will need permission to visit this cemetery from the homeowner who lives next door to the cemetery. This is a private family cemetery and they provide the upkeep for it. There is a chain link fence around it, and there were several unmarked graves.

All information was gathered from headstone inscriptions and temporary grave markers, when I walked this cemetery on Dec 22, 2007.
