1st direction:

From Durant, go north on Washington Avenue until the road turns West (about 1 1/2 miles) go west one mile, turn north at Folsom Baptist Church. Go north one mile, turn right or east, go one-half mile. The cemetery is located behind a large two story home. You have to go thru their yard into the pasture.

This is a large cemetery, one of the oldest we found in this section of Bryan County. Over half the area are graves marked with sandstones, with no names or dates but was a well planed cemetery as the stones were stright rows and lots as the newer part with tombstones. This cemetery is on private properity and hasn't been maintained thru the years and is not fence. It is over grown with brush and trees. In very bad shape. There are several Indian tombs but without names. Some families have fenced their lots. From Helen Renegar, Wanda Shelton, Bub and Lucilla Brimage survey this cemetery.
