Surveyed by Wayne Carpenter in November 1999. Survey submitted by Gladys Rowan.
Photographed on March 27, 2011, by Angela Cassidy and Donna Warlick. Thanks to Mr. Carlton
Rogers of Hardaway for showing us the way.
Old Directions: From Mt. Pleasant post office go west on Hwy 90 for 3.3 miles. Turn left on Atwater Road and
go 3.6 miles until it dead ends at Hardaway Road. Turn right (west) on Hardaway Road (Hwy 268) and go 2.7
miles. Turn left on dirt road (south side of old sawmill) for .3 mile. Turn right on trail barely wide enough for a
vehicle and go .1 mile.
New directions: From Quincy, go west on U.S. Hwy 90 to Gretna. At the caution light in Gretna, turn left on
Hwy. 268 (Hardaway Road). Continue past a 90 degree right turn and a 90 degree left turn, pass Faircloth Road
on your right, and continue another mile or so until you see McMillian Road on the right. Turn left across from
McMillian Road into the drive beside mailbox number 2980. Follow the trail behind the mobile home, past a huge
trash pile and an abandoned mobile home on your right, with open fields on your left. At a gate on your right, look
down a two-rut lane across an open area and you will see the cemetery at the edge of the tree line straight ahead.
The cemetery is cleared even though it is in woods, and the stones are well maintained. Having a Confederate
soldier in the cemetery puts it on the watch list of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and this adds a measure of
protection for it, although the owner has taken very good care of it. Trespass at own risk.
