Location: From Killen go east on US 72 to the edge of town; turn left on CR 71 and go about 8 miles. Just past the Mt. Pleasant Church turn left and go straight ahead to the dirt road. The cemetery is on the left of the dirt road instead of on the right as shown on the county map. The cemetery is on Gaylon Holden's property. He lives off the paved road to the left, just before the dirt road begins. The cemetery is on top of a hill in a group of trees between two pastures. It is fenced in and in fair condition. An asterik [ * ] indicates a difference with a previous transcription.
