The Oliver Family Cemetery is located on the old Simeon Oliver plantation (now the Jones Farm) on highway 304, about 2.9 miles west of the courthouse in Hernando, in the NE corner of Section 16, Township 3 S, Range 8 W.



From the courthouse, travel west on Hwy. 304, about 2.9 miles, going past an old cotton gin and a John Deere dealership, to the Jones' brick house on the south (left) side on a small hill. With permission, this 'deeded' cemetery is about 1000' south of the house in their pasture. It is heavily overgrown and very well hidden from view, as can be seen from the pictures.



The following list of burials was obtained from the book "DeSoto Cemetery Inscriptions", Edited and Compiled by J. B. Bell & Mildred M. Scott, and published by the Genealogical Society of DeSoto County, MS, from a 1983 survey of the cemetery. The photos were taken by Mark Paden of South Carolina.



Note: Thanks to Liz Hvasta #47162956 and Jo Terry #47030398 for locating an 8th marked grave in the cemetery.
