Burk Chasteen Cemetery

Located in Gulf Mountain Wildlife Management Area

Compiled and submitted by by Cathy Millsap Duvall 3 Oct 2004.
My family knew this cemetery as the Dog-Walk cemetery; don't know where the name Burke-Chasteen came from.

James & Carolyn Millsap, Bob & Nan Millsap, Cindy Turnbow and Randy & Cathy Duvall cleaned and fenced this cemetery May, 2000. There are a total of 22 graves - 17 rock stones and 5 marked head-stones. There are three single, one double and one triple headstone. In the Van Buren County cemetery book there are two names listed that do not have markers.
