From Memphis, Tennessee: Go about 32 miles south from Memphis on Interstate Hwy. 55. Take Exit No. 265 (Senatobia). Go west on Hwy. 4 (Main Street) for 1 mile into Senatobia. From downtown Senatobia, continue west on Hwy. 4 for about 7 miles. This is the Crockett community. The Crockett Church of Christ building is located nearby. (Note: The Strayhorn community is 3 miles further west on Hwy. 4. If you reach Strayhorn, you have gone too far.) The Matthews cemetery is located south of Hwy. 4 on the J. P. Boling farm (as of 1990). The address is J. P. Boling, 7978 Hwy. 4 West, Senatobia, MS 38668. The Boling farmhouse is a white house located close to the highway, seemingly on a slight elevation about the road. Pull into driveway and notify landowners that you would like to visit cemetery. There is a gate, south of the house, going into the pasture behind. The cemetery is located in a grove of cedar trees, maybe 500 to 600 feet southeast of the farmhouse. In 1990, the site was in the middle of a well-maintained coastal field, making it an easy walk or drive from the farmhouse. Only a few stones survive. In 1990, James E. Matthews'stone was broken, laying flat on the ground. In 2006, the stone was discovered under several inches of dirt. It is now being restored with plans to enclose it in a fence at its original location.
