Yell Pine Grove Cemetery:
Sheran McCants, August 31, 2018: The road to the Yell Pine Grove Cemetery was changed to the top of a hill (for safer entrance and exit to 149). The state maintains the road to the cemetery. They took down the sign to the cemetery when the road was changed. My brother-in-law told me that 
the state will not put up a sign (because there is a lock on the gate) unless it is declared a Historical Site. (There are plans by the Cemetery Association to put up a sign on our property.)
