  1. According to a Laura Bernard her grandfather (and mine) is buried in Murrell Cemetery. My parents attempted to visit his grave in the 1980’s. They said it was behind a church and were advised to visit it because it was full of snakes. I plan on visiting in the future and am wondering if you know if this is still the case.
    Thanks,

    • Our Cemetery Survey Team visited this cemetery in August 2003 and didn’t run across any snakes, but we sure did find a yellow jacket nest! I was stung twelve times! As I recall, there was quite a bit of poison ivy, too. The cemetery was a little difficult to find and it was in pretty rough shape. If you plan to visit, I’d do so early in the spring or late in the fall.
