Mount Carmel Cemetery is an African American Cemetery located at the intersection of Elvis Presley Blvd. and Elliston Road. While the cemetery doesn't appear to be abandoned, it is, however very overgrown and unkempt. The cemetery sprawls over several acres. Many of the stones date back to the early 1900's. Tom Lee, the hero who saved 32 people from drowning in the Mississippi in 1925, died in 1958 and is buried at Mt. Carmel. Local volunteers have begun to periodically cut the grass and weeds at Mount Carmel.
