We located this cemetery from the wooded side, rather than the roadside. We then
had to make our way
back to the road, cut a path to get to the gate which was on
the roadside. 10-19-2006
This mailbox is a reference to finding the Malachi McKenzie
Cemetery on Hwy 90, South of Byromville.
If you come to this mailbox, turn around, go back about 1000 ft in the wooded
area that you see and very
near the telephone pole in the background of this picture. [see first photo
below]

The last view of the cemetery |

This cemetery is in much need of attention. It will take a big Boy Scout Troop to take care of this problem. |

Webmasters note: When I viewed these photos it made me appreciate even
more the work that Davine and Helen have done and are doing. They are often
faced with extreme conditions while surveying and photographing
cemeteries. Not only the threat of redbugs, snakes, spiders, but they also
face physical injury while climbing around through over grown weeds and fallen
trees, or falling into a sunken area of ground. We certainly owe these
ladies a sincere thank you for this hard work. They spend their time and money
to bring us these surveys and photos. Thank you both so much.
