This cemetery is located about five miles from the Madison county line. If you are
coming from Madison County, you stay on Highway 21 and go into Newton County and
follow that highway around the sharp corner (if you turn left you will go
to Lost Valley and Compton) so stay on the highway and go another about
a mile and you will see a sign for Boxley Baptist Church with several mailboxes.
Turn right onto the drive/street and the cemetery is right there. There is
the old Boxley Church still standing, the new church building and the
pastor's house there beside the cemetery.
Coming from Russellville or Swain area, you will follow highway 21
'til you get to Edward's Junction, you will turn on the highway 21
as if you were going to Mossville. Follow the highway through Mossville
and just a few miles farther you will see the sign for the church,
you will turn left onto the drive/street for the cemetery.
This cemetery is sometimes refered to as Boxley Cemetery.
