From Amherst, Rt. 60E for approx. 6.7 mi., left on 667, 2 mi. to cemetery on left.

This cemetery is owned and very well maintained by the Mineral Springs Baptist church.

This is a complete listing of cemetery headstone, which I photographed Feb 02, 2003 with a digital camera. I am willing to share if anyone wants a copy of a headstone.
