DIRECTIONS: From Jasper take 190 west to the airport, turn left on Farm Road  777. Go five miles. Cemetery is on the left side of the road. The oldest marked grave in the cemetery that has birth and death dates is that  of T. F. Truitt b-10-20-1833,d-4-3-1869 who was the spouse of Nancy Allen  daughter of William and Annie Allen), however some of the older family records  show that Annie (Grigsby) Allen spouse of William Allen Sr. died October 27 1863.  William Allen Sr. and Annie (Gribsby) Allen lived in a house near this cemetery  and is seems reasonable to believe that She was the first to be buried here.  January 30, 1931 Dallas and Kate Wigley deeded the land to the Beech Grove  Community, Beech Grove Cemetery. This has always been known as the Allen  Cemetery, and (with few exceptions) the people that are buried here are the
descendants of William Allen Sr. and Annie (Grigsby) Allen. Our thanks to Mr. and Mrs. W. W Cogbill for helping us get the information  on this Cemetery.
