From the intersection of Beatty Rd. & US-641, about 7.3 mi. south of Decaturville, travel SSW on Beatty Rd. for 0.7 mi., continuing 100 yd. on Batty Rd., turning southwest onto Keeton Cem. Rd. for 0.7 mi. to the cemetery on the east (left) side of the road.



Keeton Cemetery is an antebellum cemetery on Keeton Cemetery Road. The cemetery is not indicated on the U.S.G.S. Bath Springs quadrangle (1972) but lies near the western edge of the map on the road shown just northwest of the Simmons Cemetery. Keeton Cemetery is well maintained. Most burials here are nineteenth century. There are 17 fieldstone-marked graves and several depressions indicating additional burials. Through the twentieth century the cemetery was used rarely but continuously, receiving one or two burials in a decade. David Donahue recorded this cemetery in 1996 and checked and updated it in 2003. Alexander and Tuten recorded this cemetery in 1975 & noted "at least 26 graves with no names."
