Slaughter Cemetery
Southaven, DeSoto County, Mississippi, USA
Directions:
From Star Landing Rd. just east of I-55 turn north on Old Airways Rd.
Turn east on Westmoreland Dr. and then turn North (lft) on Woodland Trace N.
Across the street from 3415 Woodland Trace N., Southaven, MS is a community fishing pond. The cemetery is on top of the hill behind the pond more or less in line with the right hand bank of the pond. There is no obvious public access to the site except by walking past the pond. This is about a half a mile from where the old fire tower stood on Star Landing Rd. and is much closer to Old Airways.
Notes: The cemetery is very badly overgrown and is not marked at all. I was only able to locate three headstones, although I could detect at least two other graves by the depression in the ground. [Note: If you are able to help this cemetery please let me know.]
[A big thanks to Contributor #48069739, Gary Williams for updating with accurate directions, GPS, and pictures on 20 Feb 2014!]
