Beulah Chapel Cemetery

This pristine cemetery is in the Byrneville community. It contains about [90] marked graves in 2006, parking is adequate, and there are homes nearby. The cemetery is well-kept, unfenced, and is behind the church. The grounds are approximately 150' x 200', and the cemetery is framed by trees and a wooded area in the back. The land was donated by Mr. and Mrs. W. M. �Bud� and Lena Taylor, according to Volume I of The Heritage of Escambia County. A couple of the graves reveal death dates into the mid-1960’s. There are numerous headstones which display �cemetery art� and etchings. Standing near the rear is a pole flying the American flag. The land for this cemetery was donated by Wesley Taylor.

Directions: Beginning in Cantonment at US29 and C-184, drive North about 27.3 miles to CR-4 West, in the town of Century.
