Barnett Cemetery
(Highway 304 East in Hobucken)

Left photo taken March 2008 by Jan Orndorff; right photo taken January 2010 by Wm. Odell Spain

The Barnett Cemetery was founded in 1860. It is currently an active cemetery and is well maintained. I began surveying this cemetery in 2007. Because of its size, I decided to concentrate on the oldest section. This is still a work-in-progress and is only a partial listing. If anyone has photographs to add to this list, please e-mail Kay Midgett Sheppard for inclusion. Surveyed and photographed in April 2010 by Jan Orndorff
