Bethlehem Cemetery is located south of Pauls Valley. Traveling south on Chickasaw Street (Highway 77), it is located east of the highway, across the road from the Pauls Valley General Hospital. The sign indicates it was established in 1885 and was originally known as Mt. Nemo, and renamed Bethlehem in 1970. Interestingly enough, we did not find any headstones dating back before 1924. There are 218 burials here, dating up to the present.
The cemetery is rectangular and treeless. It is well maintained, unfenced, with a gravel drive running north-south.
