Midway cemetery is about a mile north of Hwy 6 and about half way between Oxford and the Lafayette/Pontotoc County line. I have been told it is a high point, very nicely maintained, and that the old movie "Intruder in the Dust" had scenes filmed there. Also heard it was either Methodist or Presbyterian Church there then.
