BARNETT CEMETERY 
UNION COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI
(Located North of C.R. 2 2 miles Northwest of Myrtle, just off old Hwy 78)


September 28, 1997
(CLICK HERE FOR ADDITIONAL BARNETT FAMILY INFORMATION)
This cemetery is in an isolated area and very difficult to find after a 3/4 mile
walk up a logging road.  It is off of the logging road a short distance, a quick
walk back into the woods. It was abandoned a long time ago.  This cemetery 
contains the only grave site I've ever seen which has actually been robbed. 
The hole was not refilled, and the actual robbery appeared to have taken place 
many years ago.  It is the "spookiest" cemetery that I've ever visited and I
don't spook easily!   It also contained several grave sites marked only by rocks.
