    1. Anderson Cemetery
    2. Wanda, I too found the Anderson Cemetery a few years back and one of my gg grand parents buried there, Absolum B. Joyce and Mary Jane Guthrie Joyce. About 3 years ago I went by there and found a gentleman working on the cemetery who was from Memphis and he was one of the Anderson descendants but I do not have his name. However, he stated that they were trying to get a group together to work on the cemetery. I gave him my name and informed him that if they would let me know that I would be willing to help but I have not heard any more from anyone. I did hear that a group of prisoners from the Wayne County Prison came and spent some time cleaning up but when the state discovered that it was a family cemetery they could not allow the prisoners to come back. I was back there in May of last year and unless much has been done on the cemetery it is in a sad state considering that many of the founding families of Saltillo is buried there. If you are back in Saltillo, you might stop at the first service station on the right (going east) as you go into Saltillo which is operated by David Willis who was and may still be the mayor of Saltillo. He was the one who directed me to the cemetery. He may be able to give you more information on the Anderson's.
