Go past the church and around the right hand bend in the road. The cemetery will be next to the road on the right hand side.



Straight Creek Cemetery or Liberty Cemetery is a medium sized cemetery. Portions of the new section of the cemetery towards the front and closest to the street are fairly well maintained, however, the old section of the cemetery up the hill does not appear to be maintained at all. It is in horrible condition. Many headstones are in serious disrepair, and there are numerous unmarked and sunken graves. Be prepared to walk through thick brush during the summer months and beware of poisonous snakes and spiders.
