Austin Cemetery

Located on Highway 41, between Talisheek G Hickory. Driving South on Highway 41, it is 16.2 miles from intersection of Highways 41 and 40 at Bush, and is approximately half way between the point where Highway 435 goes into Highway 41, and where Highway 36 goes into Highway 41. The cemetery is one tenth mile off the main highway, is fenced, and well maintained. We were told it was named after Austin Crawford.
