To reach Mount Gilead Cemetery from Water Valley, Mississippi, travel south on Hwy 7, and turn right onto CR90. The first cemetery you come to on the right is Bethlehem. Mount Gilead is next on the left in the corner at the intersection.

This is the cemetery owned by the Mount Gilead Baptist Church. The Mount Gilead church, by the cemetery, is no longer being used for services, however, the cemetery and stones are well cared for.

I did this transcription from a complete census of the information on the stones, completed on May 9, 2006.
