MCDONALD CEMETERY

DIRECTIONS: From Latta at the stop light turn right onto Academy Street. Stay on this road for 1 mile and then turn left onto Oakly Point Road or (S17-33). Go to the stop sign which is 1.3 miles and take a right onto Judge Road. It will bear on around the curve to your left but you will want to bear to the right onto Haymount Road and traveling down this road about 2miles. You will pass a Lane Cemetery and then a Resthaven Cemetery and about 2/10 of a mile on the right is a dirt road you will turn onto it, following it around to the left and then straight and then to the right. This cemetery and land around it is now owned by Johnny Bryant and Mrs.Jimmy Hayes before him. It is in real bad shape and is in a soybean field so you will have to walk through the beanfield to get to it.
