Directions: From Amory, go east to Hatley. Take Old Hwy. 6 (right fork) just east of Hatley School. Cross 2 bridges. The second bridge is over Weaver's Creek. Go approximately 1 mile past the second bridge and turn right onto Harmony Road, which is the first paved road to the right after crossing the creek. The cemetery is a few hundred yards on the left in the woods. The cemetery is about 3 miles east of Hatley.
