MAGNOLIA CEMETERY ANNEX
In 1967 there became a great need for additional cemetery lots. Joseph B. & Rhetta W. Heaton decided to add a portion of their land to Magnolia Cemetery, which has proved of benefit to those not having lots in the original cemetery.
This portion of the cemetery is known as The Magnolia Cemetery Annex and is owned by Joseph B. Heaton.
