Bennett-Hood Cemetery

Surveyed April 27, 2005 by Dawn Watson

Directions: from the corner of Jefferson Road and S. Elm Street in downtown Commerce, take Jefferson Road toward Jefferson. Turn left onto Ashland Drive. The cemetery is at the corner of Jefferson Road and Ashland Drive.

Note: grave sites 01, 02, 03, and 04 were surrounded by a low brick wall. The other grave sites are behind that area and in the woods. There is a thick ground cover of vinca in that area, making it almost impossible to tell where all the grave sites were; I could easily have overlooked one or more graves.
