The Jett Cemetery was the family cemetery of Hamilton Jett, located north of Bahala Chapel in the Tryus community of northwestern Lawrence County, Mississippi. It is located in the field across the road from where Mrs. Ida Bird once lived, and in the 1940s was on the land belonging to a Mr. Newsom. Mrs. Bird said she remembered that there used to be a fence around the cemetery in the 1940s, but no tombstones to her recollection. By the 1980s there was no longer any visible indication that the cemetery existed. Buried here are Hamilton Jett, three of his four wives, a daughter, a son, and likely other family members and slaves.
