MITCHELL JONES CEMETERY

To reach the cemetery, go on Hwy. 7 West for 1.7 miles from Loop 304 to a dirt road on the left. 9-tenths mile on the dirt road to a gate on the left. Cemetery is 3-tenths mile inside, not visible from road. A wire gap crosses road, and a fence encloses the cemetery. The gate nearest the road is usually locked - will be opened by Theodore Washington, who lives nearby.  Mitchell Jones gave the land for the cemetery, which is used primarily by Saint Matthew's Baptist Church, where Theo Washington is the oldest deacon. Earliest marked grave located is that of Nancy Jones, 1920.
