As you can see by the map, this is a very isolated primitive church and cemetery which is just inside the Lafayette side of the Calhoun/Lafayette County line. The safest and most dependable access to the cemetery is to take Calhoun County Road 181 west off of Highway 9, just north of Sarepta, and travel the gravel road the few miles to the cemetery. You can also get to the cemetery from the Lafayette County side but you often need a 4 wheel vehicle in wet weather. The cemetery is just a mile or so southeast of the old Dallas cemetery. As late as the late 1970's, the side of the cemetery closest to the church had a beautiful wrought iron fence. Unfortunately, it is no longer there. There is now a wire fence surrounding the cemetery. The predominant family in this cemetery are the Phillips who were early settlers and landowners of the surrounding land, which is now referred to as the Elmer and Egbert Phillips Memorial Forest.
