This cemetery does not have a sign. It adjoins what used to be Mount Pisgah Church. Over the years it became Iglesia Bautista Church for a while. To visit the church and cemetery, you have to open a gate at about:
N36°52.237' W093°54.516'
then drive north on the narrow lane to the church and cemetery. According to FindAGrave there were 120 interments at Mount Pisgah Cemetery at the time of this waymark posting. Although there were some graves with missing dates, the oldest recorded graves were from 1877, and the latest (so far) was from 2008.

During my visit, there was a caretaker mowing the church lawn. He lives in a trailer behind (to the north of) the church. He spoke a little English. He said that the church is only used for revivals now. The cemetery is not completely abandoned (and thus will not be cross-listed to that category, yet), but only rarely does someone else come and mow the cemetery.
