Hefley Cemetery |
Hefley Cemetery is just across Fm Rd 920 form Boonsville Cemetery. (See Boonsville page). You go up the driveway to a brick house with white trim and then behind the house to a barn. Walk through the white pipe gate to the right of the barn and go through the pasture. The cemetery is grown up in brush but is fenced with a cyclone and pipe fence.
In March 2001 we
took pictures of the 8
headstones present.
In the table below LaDarla Keith added some information in parenthesis ( ).

Gilley Cemetery
Gilley Cemetery is located on CR 3655 about 3 miles east of Boonsville. It is visible on the north side of the road, but is out in the pasture about 100 yards. In 2001 There was a white pipe fenced lane just to the east of the cemetery. In 2010 all of the fences had been replaced with a tall pipe and cattle pannel fence. The farm sign said 'Black Rock Ranch'. Drive down the lane and look for the cemetery fenced off in the pasture to the left.
The sign on the white fence in 2001 said "Gilley Cemetery est. 1860 by John B. Gilley".
The cemetery was
mowed and well kept when we took pictures of the 23
headstones in March 2001. We moved from the northeast corner south and west as
we numbered the headstones.

Bethel-Boonsville Cemetery |
The upper picture of the Bethel-Boonsville Cemetery gate was made in March 2001 when the grass was tall. The picture below was made in 2010 and the grass had been mowed.
Bethel Cemetery (more than one in the county) is located about half a mile to the east of Gilley Cemetery. Like Gilley it is on the north side of CR 3655 about 100 yards from the road, but dense woods keep you from seeing it from the road. Look for the house pictured below on the right and across the road from it, turn left on the dirt road pictured below and you will see the double gate to the cemetery on the left.
When we took pictures
at Bethel-Boonsville, in March of 2001, the headstones were scattered toward the
back (west) part of the fenced cemetery area, and the cemetery had waist high
dead grass. Of the 27
headstones recorded in an earlier survey by Jim
Paschall of Cottondale, we were only able to find and picture 25.
The information from the previous survey is included in the
data in parenthesis ( ), and the two headstones we didn't find are noted with
'Not Found'.
