Bennet Cemetery is on the south side of CR100s 1/4 mile from intersection of state road 7 and CR 100s. It is on private property and in need of repair (there are trees and briars growing up in it...it's a shame). To get to the cemetery, you turn right onto a private lane and then bear right at the "Y" up to a house. Bennet Cemetery is located south of the house a short walk (maybe 150 feet).
