Take Main Street going west in Lucedale, Mississippi and as you near the end of town you will see Lamar Street on your right. Take this right hand turn (north), and go .4 tenths of a mile and Rhymes Baptist Church will be on your right.

The cemetery is located behind the church, and is surrounded by a chain link fence. It is owned by the Rhymes Baptist Church and is maintained by church members, and it was in good shape. Colon Havard gave me permission to walk the cemetery.

All information was gathered from headstone inscriptions and temporary grave markers, when I walked this cemetery on May 05, 2007.
