Rock of Ages Cemetery

Submitted by Andrew Moore

Traveling south from Marked Tree, turn left off Hywy 63 on 118. Drive through the town of Tyronza, and once you cross the RR tracks you will go approximately 1.4 miles. Then turn left on a gravel road, go approx. .4 miles which will take you to the Rock of Ages church located on the right side of the road. The cemetery is divided. The older part is just south of the new church building while the newer part is on the north side of the church property. There is evidence of many unmarked graves in both parts.
