ABANDONED CEMETERY NORTHWEST OF STEPHENS


This cemetery is located just northwest of Stephens.  Turn 
left near Stephens Cemetery  off Hwy. 57 on Curry Field Rd. 
This will turn into Rd. 1 at the city limits and is also 
known as Frogshack Rd. Go 1.4 miles off Hwy. 57 to New Seminary 
Church.  Turn left on Rd. 585.  Go about 100 yards and turn 
right on a one lane oil field road.  Go 4/10ths of a mile just 
past some old rusty oil tanks.  The cemetery is on the right 
about 150 feet off the road.  A power line pole with some 
breaker boxes on it is just past the point where you leave 
the road to the cemetery. 
 
A man living nearby thinks this is an African-American cemetery.
