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 Section 32, Township 22 North, Range 4 East. 

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