Fellow Listers, Looks like I messed up. Based on some more digging done based on a off-list conversation, I now believe the cemetery I was looking for is either called "Salem Cemetery" or "East Salem Cemetery". I now cannot find any source that calls it "Old Mt. Pleasant Unity" (or anything like that). So . . . I went to the internet and did some digging and found the following in the rootsweb archives for "East Salem Cemetery": EAST SALEM CEMETERY is just off of route 51 South. It is a small cemetery, maybe 20-30 stones, last spring some of them were overgrown with shrubs. If you know where Jim Owens Country Ford is, not far off of I70, above Country Ford is the new DOG HOUSE FAMILY RESTAURANT, above the restaurant is a JOHN DEER RIDING MOWER business & a house. Just above the house is a cross roads, if you are coming North on 51 this will all be on your left. At the crossroads make a left, the road curves suddenly to the right & in front of you will be KULIK'S UPHOLSTERY & CABINETS CABINETS (on either end of brick building) shortly after this sharp right curve the road then curves sharply left at a junction. In front of you will be a NO OUTLET sign on the right hand side. The EAST SALEM CEMETERY is just to the left of that sign, you can look across the grassy entrance & see some of the tombstones. There is no sign for the cemetery, but I believe it was a private cemetary at the onset. The bottom line is that it now looks like I know where it is. Additional responses are welcome, nonetheless, and I apologize for any confusion I might have caused.
