The cemetery was located near the head of a branch of Mill Creek, 3/4 mile northwest of White Rock Church, at the intersection of
FM 697 and Blanton Road, between Whitewright and Ida. The cemetery was on the east side of the creek.  No markers are know to
be left. The old dirt road from Kentucky Town to Sherman crossed the branch at the site of the springs. 
"Old-timers may remember the long-standing iron bridge spanning the creek at Heiston springs which is also a quarter of a mile or
so just east of the Elbert Nichols farm."  The dirt road was eventually abandoned at this segment after the gravel road came to be built from Whitewright to Sherman around 1920."  (Letter to the Editor. The Whitewright Sun, Thursday, March 27, 1975, pg. 2)
