McHANEY CEMETERY
McHaney Cemetery is located in southwest Henderson County on the north side of John Pope Road about 1.3 miles north of the Huron settlement. Reached by field road from John Pope Road. The last burial here seems to have been in 1999. The cemetery is full. It is also badly overgrown. There are several hundred unmarked graves here.
