It is located on highway 529, just 1/2 mile off of hiwy 28 west of Soso, Miss., between Soso and Summerland, adjacent to the Coats Cemetery, in the community of Gitano.

This is a complete list, only 3 people buried, there, it is father, wife and son.
Their land joined the Coats Cemetery. It was established in l983.

The survey of the cemetery was completed by Thomas and Darly Coats. I have transcribed from their work, which was done in the spring of 2002, with permission.
