Beasley Cemetery
This house approx. 100 yards north of cemetery is called "Point Breeze". It is also
known as the Alexander-Beasley house. It is thought to have been built in the early
1860's but could be earlier. At the time of its construction it was one of the finest
homes in Dixon Springs. The Beasley Cemetery is located on the Anne Beasley
Ratledge farm on Rome Road South of Dixon Springs.
