Bureson Cemetery
located 1.8 miles west of Highway 43 on Jute Road, just past Bethel Road

This cemetery is only divided into 2 sections.
We started on the West section in no certain order.
There are other graves in the cemetery, but without having any kind of
record book to go by, we can only go by visuals.
You can tell where some graves are, but there are no stones, markers or headstones.

Behind the Kendall headstones, between the headstones and the fence,
there are two small broken headstones, both lying down, one says T C.

Most of the cemetery on the West side is covered with Vinca,
that is just starting to bloom when we were canvassing April 4, 2001
