Near
Benton

Near
Benton in Yazoo County
there is what seems to be an old family cemetery in
the woods behind a home. There is no road to the
cemetery but there is evidence of what used to be a
road that led to it. There is no evidence of a
building near the cemetery. The cemetery contains at
least 6 graves with marked head stones, dating back
to the 1880's. Some of them are
surrounded by an iron fence.
