    3. Mary, My husband's cousin, Townsend P. Bullen,III a former MS State Trooper, was buried in that cemetery last year. Threw his entire family for a loop when they read his request to be buried there as no one in the family had been buried there for quite some time! Needless to say his sons had to do a very quick cleanup to even prepare the burial site! It is very difficult to find! The funeral home had to have a relative lead the hearse!
