I suppose it is south of 278. If memory serves it is severl miles beyond the cemetery. It would be in a turn on the left side of the road. The monumnet is not very old and it looks like a his and her tombstone. It seems like it sets off the road a little. There was a history of the Mississippi Mormons on the LDS website. It is interesting. BTW - One group of Pickles and sveral Lowery families made it to Salt Lake City. Greg > > From: "Anne S.
