MCMURRY-WALLACE-BLACKINRIDGE CEMETERY

Located east of Decaturville on the Old Perryville Road about 2 miles. Graveyard on left near main road just this side of John Crawley home. This cemetery was indexed by Margarett Alexander on December 28, 1975. Mrs. Jewel Brasher states that there are some unmarked graves of Blackinridge and thinks the graveyard is named after them. Some persons thinks it is called Wallace Graveyard. Mrs. Alexander was told there was another tombstone, perhaps that of a baby. Due to the undergrowth it wasn't found. This graveyard was very hard to index due to the debris.
