Township 15 Range 12 Section 29. Bengal Settlement is no longer extant; the Bengal Cemetery is the sole surviving remnant of that by-gone farming community. Generally, the cemetery is located West of the Tallapoosa River. By taking the Abernathy Exit off of Interstate 20 West, at the bottom of the egress turn left, proceeding underneath the I-20 bridge grade separation, then turn right onto Cleburne County Road 49. Continuing, take the second left paved hard-surfaced road entering onto an unnumbered road. As the pavement runs out in due course, follow on the dirt road, which extends to the narrow Tallapoosa River Bridge where the Old Pound's Mill site is located (now known as: Dryden's Mill). After crossing the bridge, take the first road to the right, which is a logging road. It will then be necessary to ford a stream of water. Next, seek for large smooth surfaced rock outcroppings, towards the left side, and a place that has been recognized by two name styles: a) Little Mill; and, b) Ward's Mill. The area immediately to the North of the Mill area is Bengal. Proceed up the logging path past a pipe line that lies across the road. Near the pipe line the road gently veers to the left. At this point the visitor should begin looking for a road impression, that exists at a forty-five degree angle to the faint-impression road. The Cemetery would then be found approximately 0.1 miles where the dominant road makes a dramatic contour bend towards the left, then, after a short distance utilizing this route, Bengal Cemetery is located at its terminus. Although in an isolated location, with poor visibility to aid the seeker, the cemetery receives some maintenance.
