This cemetery is located just over the Rusk- Panola County line in Panola County. Traveling north on FM 1791 from Hwy 84, proceed to the intersection of FM 1791 from Hwy 84, proceed to the intersection of FM 999. The cemetery is located on the top of the ridge to the left, directly across from where FM 999 intersects with FM 1791, just above Springs of Living Water Church.  The cemetery is not visible from the road.

The stone for the Taylor family is relatively new -- a very large stone -- flat to ground. It must be about 4 feet from side to side, and about 18   inches wide -- was obviously added much more recently than when they died.   The words "Texas Pioneers" were at the bottom of the stone with William and  Pamela's names. That is the very large stone and it may have had both
couples on it -- one couple on the left and one on the right.

The stones are all in one place, within a few  feet of each other. Dr. Woolwine's stone is old and rests against a tree. The Taylor stone (s) is much newer and is behind the Woolwine stone. The  Murphy stone is to the right of Dr. Woolwine.

In 1998 only the tombstones of Dr. Woolwine and two others were found by visitors to the cemetery.
