Location: From the stoplight at Hwy 589 in Purvis, travel north
on Hwy 11 for
about 4.9 miles, and turn left onto Oklahola Rd. Go 1.1 miles,
and just
prior to reaching Bethlehem Baptist Church, turn left on a small gravel
road and go 0.2 mile to cemetery.
Very well maintained and surrounded by a chainlink fence about 170 by
320 feet. A sign at the entrance reads “Boone Cemetery.”
