Township 13 South, Range 1 West, Section 30

Barry Huffstutler writes: "This cemetery is very small and most folks don't even know of it. Its location is hard to find and can't be seen from the main road. It has no name that anyone can think of, so for namesake, I am calling it the Huffstutler Cemetery because there are some Huffstutlers buried in it. Local folks say that this was the original cemetery for the Philadelphia (Baptist) Church. The original church at the bottom of the hill burned down and then was rebuilt and then destroyed by a tornado before it was moved to the top of the hill at its present location."

Location: From Locust Fork take Highway 79 South, then turn right onto Center Spring Road and go to Philadelphia Road and turn left. Go half way up the hill to the first road on the left with a fence across it. You will have to walk to the cemetery which is about one-half mile out in the woods
