Location: Between Goldtown and Kenna

Directions: From Ripley, take I-77 south to the Kenna exit; go west on Rt 21 to the intersection of Rt 34, turn left on Rt 34, drive about 5.5 miles, turn left on Watts Chapel Road (0Rt 21/36). Watts Chapel is on that corner and is hard to miss. Drive up Watts Chapel Road about .5 mile, turn right into the driveway. The cemetery is hidden from view and you must drive past the house and curve to the left. I'd suggest a courtesy stop at the house to ask permission. The lady who was there the day we went was very gracious and friendly.

Marvin Robie, JoAnn Jones, and Betty Briggs visited the cemetery on May 4, 2015. A recent storm broke some tree limbs which fell on the fence, making it difficult to get good pictures of a few stones. Photos were taken of all markers by Marvin & Betty. If you would like a better quality picture, contact Betty Briggs.
