This information was recorded December 20, 1998 and is located in the Trinity-Peytonsville Road area. Simmons Cemetery is located on private property, on a hill several hundred feet behind the house. The property was once the home of Henry Simmons and his wife, Lena Elizabeth Beech. The property is now owned by a grand-daughter of Henry and Lena. The cemetery is well tended and is surrounded by a white wooden fence.
