The Pound family cemetery appears to be a burial ground behind the old farmhouse which is long gone. The cemetery is about 6-7 miles east of Tupelo.MS at the intersection of County Line Road and Ballardsville Road. The cemetery was obviously abandoned years ago since it has big trees in the middle. It is in a heavily wooded area and the only way it could be found was with the help of a friendly neighbor (This per Barbara Tally Jones, 3343 Bunten Rd., Duluth GA 30136 in 1996)
