This cemetery is located in Big Sandy, at the end of Pearl St. west of Hwy 155. It is on private property off a long closed section of an old road. It is better accessed on foot through a power line right of way that crosses Hwy 155.

The graves are scattered over a little less than an acre. There are quite a few unmarked graves, some that we have noted. It is overgrown, and a lot of the stones are on the ground. We read every stone that we could find, but feel there is a possibility that we may have missed some, as there is a thick carpet of pine needles across the whole cemetery.
