Thompson Chapel Methodist Church Cemetery is located in the
southeast corner of Copiah County, Mississippi, bordering Lincoln County
immediately to the south and Lawrence County to the east. The cemetery is
located at the intersection of Timberlake Road and Bahala Road. Originally, the
cemetery was adjacent to Thompson Chapel Methodist Church, organized on April
22, 1917. The church no longer exists; a marker was erected in 1973 identifying
the location of the church. There are approximately 20 identified graves in the
cemetery. The cemetery is well maintained and still in use, with the last
burial in 1998.
Directions: (1) From North: Take US 51 South toward Wesson,
turn left on Bahala Road (approximately one mile north of Wesson) for 0.3 miles

Lincoln sign for 2.2 miles where Timberlake becomes Sunset Road; turn left
