Abandoned Cemetery No. 1 This is an old abandoned black cemetery. Only two graves are marked, but there are many graves marked by rocks. The cemetery covers about one half acre and I am told that a church once existed here. From Rosston, go west on Hwy. 278 toward Hope for about 2.5 miles. About 1/4 mile past Rd. 36, there is a dim logging road leaving the highway to the left in a sharp curve. The cemetery is down this road about 1/4 mile on the left side of the road. This record made in September, 1998 by Jerry McKelvy. Marked graves found here are: Bena Mendenhall died 2-21-1943 (a metal funeral home marker) Josie Wilson born 8-23-1874 - died 8-23-1901 "Rest on dear wife"
