Hendley Cemetery

Transcribed and submitted by Brenda  

I went in to the Hendley cemetery in the late 1980's in my car but Weyerhaeuser was in there cutting trees at the time and had a pretty good road going in off of 9W at Providence Church. I came out on a different little road looking to see what I could find but didn't see anything. I had always heard the Hendley cemetery called the Old Big Rock Cemetery and the road that used to run from the old water tank off of 331 to 9W at Providence was called the Old Big Rock Road. According to my Dad, it ran from Sarepta to Water Valley when he was a little boy.
