Look for Jerktail sign on the left, (park sign, brown with yellow letters) which points to the right across the road, (that's Jerkltail road - gravel but well maintained); cemetery is on the right about 4 or 5 miles down the Jerktail road, surrounded by chain link fence.North of Eminence on Highway 19 to CR224.

NOTE: Since posting the Bunch Cemetery list to this website, I have had several emails from people contradicting one another. This has resulted in two separate Bunch Cemetery lists. They are as accurate at this point as I can make them. I certainly appreciate the input of family members who have information not available to me, and would welcome that information in order to make the lists more accurate and up-to-date. Known family members might consider collaborating on this matter and contacting me with the finished results. I have combined the David Bunch, Sr. and the Bunch Family Grave Yard lists because of strong evidence they are one and the same cemetery. Thanks for any and all help.
UPDATE: David, Sr. and Frances are said to be buried at the Bee Bluff cemetery for the Bunch family so I have removed them from this list. (Pearl Edgar, Feb. 2011)
