ISAAC DUNCAN CEMETERY

Walthall County, Mississippi

Transcribed and submitted by Barbara Waggoner Smith

The cemetery is located about 10 miles north of Tylertown, Mississippi in the Salem community on the old Charlie Duncan property. The property was formerly owned by Julius Sims, deceased, but is now owned by his daughter Mrs. Phillips. Go north on Hwy. 27 to Salem. Turn left onto Dinan Salem Road and go 1 ¾ miles. Cemetery is on the right in a thick pine thicket. Cemetery is fenced but in very poor and unkept condition.
