Although there are no signs identifying the cemetery, we were able to determine its name from the internet (visit link). Pickett Cemetery is also known as the Lem Turner Cemetery presumably because Lem Turner and his wife Sarah Ann are both buried there.

The cemetery is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood and is extremely overgrown. Several of the headstones are overtaken with ivy, broken, or knocked over. The oldest grave there belongs to Joseph P. Turner; however, the month of his death is unreadable, so we've listed January as the death month in the variable for Earliest Burial below. The latest burial is Gary A. Nielson, but again the month of his death is uncertain, so we've listed January as the death month in the variable for Latest Burial below.
