"GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"

This is a partial listing of people buried out at this cemetery.

I have begun to transcribe this cemetery with headstone photos, however, at this time I don’t have very many photos. The below will state which names I have headstone photos for by having a (hd pic) beside their name.

I also have obits (obit) for some of the names listed, if anyone would like a copy. Sometimes there are pictures of the people (pic) with the obit. These listings are made from either obits or data given to me by other family or researchers. I will be more than happy to share with you what information I have on the people listed below, If you would like to send me data on your family or friends buried at this cemetery, I would be more than happy to accept and add the data into my listings. Please feel free to contact me. I will put a * beside those that have been added since the last update.

Coming from Hwy 412 from Huntsville, you will get to Duvall Farm Rd on the right side of the Hwy. It is also CR 2315. (There wasn't a highway sign for the County Road but there is a wooden sign labeling it as Duvall Farm Rd.) After you have turned onto CR 2315 you will drive .4 miles and then you will turn left onto CR 2355. You will then drive 1.9 miles to a "T" turn right on CR 2355 (there was a sign for Big Sandy) drive .3 miles follow the "Y" to the right on CR 2355. (another sign for the cemetery), then drive .2 miles to another "T" go right on CR 2340 drive .4 and you will be at the church and cemetery.

There are several ways of getting to Big Sandy Cemetery, the above was just one way.

Another way is from Kingston Square drive 3.7 miles on Hwy 21 and turn left onto CR 2350, you will drive 4.5 miles to the cemetery from this turn off, passing the Purdy Community Church. But this way the road is very narrow and rocky in places, and the county roads mix into one another and are hard to follow as CR 2350 turns into CR 2340 somewhere in there (CR 2350 will "T" off you will turn right onto CR 2340 and just follow it onto the cemetery) , and so because of the roads and hard directions, I wouldn't recommend this way.
