From Decaturville, take Highway 100 5.3 miles west, turning south (left) onto Henry Volner Rd.; turning left onto the Old Stage Road and the graveyard will be on the right after going about 150 yards. Graveyard is in view of the white frame house on the Charlie Kennedy farm. The Kennedy caretaker claims this is the Morgan Graveyard. Years ago there was a church here known as 'Bluff Chapel'. This cemetery was indexed by Ms Alexander in 1976. This graveyard is in real good shape [1976]. Ms. Alexander noted "15 unmarked graves.
Jerry Butler and Carl Butler, Jr. visited this cemetery in 2009 and the cemetery continues to be in good shape. There are no new burials.

Additionally: There was once a church next to the cemetery called Bluff Chapel. It was built by George Morgan probably in the 1840's. The cemetery may have as many as 50 burials but only 3 gravestones can be read now. Bluff Chapel was a log church and about 30 feet long. It was first a Methodist Church and then a United Brethren Church. Frank Morgan, son of George Morgan, was a United Brethren minister there and he deeded the land for the church and the cemetery. The chapel was used for funerals, weddings and worship services. This information was compiled by Lillian Morgan Christie and recorded here by Morgan descendant Buddy Mitchell.

The Butler's visited this cemetery on June 24, 2009 and the cemetery continues to be in good shape. There are no new burials.
