This cemetery used to be called “The Old Odessa Cemetery”.  The front of the cemetery is on S. Dixie Boulevard. Coming off of I-20 onto Dixie you continue North 1.0 mile. It will be on your left as you pass E. Murphy.  When you come to Murphy which runs East and West turn West (left) and the first road into the cemetery to the right and first road East after you turn in is where we started the entries. We started from the fence at the East end and went West, crossed the cemetery road and finished the row. I did not do this alphabetically.  I did put the last name first.  All of the headstones are in good shape and most are in excellent condition. There are several rows that have no graves at all on them.
