I'm replying to the list because others have asked about this cemetery. I e-mailed a friend whose Dad (I thought) had a connection to the Smyrna cemetery, but she was of no help. I have been to cemetery years ago and know where it is. I always thought it was connected to the Aulds Chapel community, but I don't know anybody from that community to ask. I'll keep inquiring and let you know.
