It gives similar directions but states that the Cemetery is about 4 miles past the intersection of the two highways. My Dad and I spent an hour going up and down 154, counting off 4 miles and straining for the sight of a cemetery! There was none. >> +++++++++++++++++ Cathy ..... ...for "some reason" i feel the website in mind is MINE.. :( and i DO apologize for not WALKING the distance to be EXACT in its location!!!! In the directions i give....which i though were pretty clear....i said approximately....and that was WRONG of me to do...next time i will be more exacting! it IS VERY CLEARLY SEEN from the highway tho...and if you traveled up and down the road several times....???? didn't i mention that it was "nestled back in the corner"?? oh well....long as ya found it! :) the wording on the plaque of the stone marker reads: Site of the Galum Baptist Church organized 1843 - disbanded 1967 one of the charter members of the 9-mile Baptist Association.
