This is an African-American cemetery located about 1 mile east and 1/2 mile north of Katie. From the 4 way stop at Katie, drive west about 1 mile. You will come to where the road forks. One fork is paved and one is gravel. Take the paved fork. It will cross a small bridge just past the fork. Drive on west till you start uphill and before the top of the hill, turn north. This is the only road you can turn north on and there is a sign at the turn which says "Buena Ventura Paint Horses".   Drive on north down this road. You will come to a gate on the west side of the road just before you come to a brick house on the east side of the road. You should even be able to see the old church house off to the west, just before you come to the gate.   From the gate, just follow the dirt trail and it will lead straight to the church, where you will find the cemetery to the north side.   It is being mowed and all graves had flowers to indicate that this cemetery is cared for and those resting here are not forgotten. There may be many unmarked burials here. The burials listed here were all in the northwest corner of the fenced area with the remainder of the cemetery seemingly empty.
