NOTE:
This area is near a large industrial park and is on high ground. The Pryor Creek flows below the bluffs just several yards away. The former village of Bethel was once nearby. Many children are buried at this old cemetery that has suffered much vandalism over the years. Most of the markers are broken. I was told that in the late 1980's some "kids" gathered up several headstones and threw them from the nearby "CryBaby Bridge." The Army Corps of Engineers later retrieved them, and attempted to place them back on the correct gravesites.
