This is known as the Sim Bear Cemetery, but also called the Hackney Cemetery.  Go to Tuscumbia and take 52 –17 highways across the River Bridge.   Go to the first left hand road, which is highway 52 and take it.   Go to the first right hand road, which is Bear School Road, and turn right.   Go .3 miles until you come to a gate on the right side of the road and turn there.   You will cross a private bridge and wind around to a brick home.   The cemetery lies in front of the house and easily seen.   Go approximately .2 miles across a valley and up a hill to this fenced cemetery.  This is also known as the Hackney Cemetery.
