Old Salem or Dripping Springs Cemetery

Old Salem Cemetery is located NE of Preston on a road that runs W off of MS (?) 21 and apparently is on the line that divides Kemper from Noxubee County. It is on the south side of the road, which places it in Kemper County. It sits on a hill and would not be readily noticed from the road.
