On Route 142 East between Oxly and Highway H (now renamed "B"). The cemetery is no longer in use. Thomas Crook was the official "caretaker" of the cemetery and supplied some names for unmarked graves. According to the
late A. E. "Jack" Venable there was a General Baptist Church at the SW corner of the cemetery until about 40 - 50 years ago. The land was deeded to the Church by J. A. Shahan. Listing completed October 1973 and since
revised. Located in Sec 32, T22N,R4E. 

Notes from Don Clark: I walked through this Cemetery in November 2002 and it is all growed up with trees and thorn bushes, graves are sunk in, the stones are there, some hidden in bushes.
