Directions: From the intersection of U. S. 601 and Turkey Ford Road in Dobson, go east on Turkey Ford Road until it ends at Siloam Road (5 miles), turn right on Siloam Road and go 1.2 miles to Tom Jones Road on the left, follow Tom Jones Road for 0.9 mile to Key Road on the right. Cemetery will be on the east side of Key Road in a group of large trees.

Also known as Wall Cemetery and Wall-Tucker Cemetery. Don Rhyne is certain that "Old Freeman" is the correct name because 1) David and Jerusha Freeman were the first people buried here; David has 2 daughters buried here; and 3) David used to own the land.
