In some publications in the early 1900's, this cemetery was called Midway. It is located about six miles north of Marvell on county road 115. Tri-County Genealogical Society recently erected a sign on highway 49 pointing the way to the cemetery, and erected another sign at the entrance . This cemetery had been neglected for years and undergrowth and brush made walking almost impossible. In 2010 Marty and Mack McKissic undertook the monumental task of clearing the cemetery and have made remarkable progress. An article on their work appeared in the Spring 2010 issue of the Tri-County Journal.
The initial cemetery inventory was made by Rose White of Marvell with later additions by Loyd and Flora Turner. There are more than 150 recorded graves in this cemetery, but many more burials are known to be in the three to five acre cemetery in unmarked graves. The earliest recorded burial was in 1864 and the last burial tombstone placed was in 1996.
