Please help me find the location of this cemetery so I can visit it. This is from an older book. I have ancestors buried here. Thanks.

"This cemetery was located on a hill above the old Island Ford Bridge. The bridge was torn down when the dam was constructed and the Bean Family cemetery is now surrounded on three sides by Lake Wedowee. After Frances Falkner's death, a rock wall, 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet high was built around the Falkner's grave. Today, most of the rock wall surrounding the graves has disappeared."

Located west of Wedowee. Go north on US431 thru Wedowee, cross the Tallapoosa river - Go apprx 2 miles, turn left on CR121 - CR121 will dead-end about 1 1/2 miles at CR329. Go left for 1/2 mile - turn right on CR99 - Road will be dirt/gravel after you pass Shiloh church. About 1 mile past Shiloh, you may see cemetery on right. This is Mt Pleasant, keep going - Road will fork, go right - Another fork shortly, I think go right but not sure but both ways end 1/4 mile at river. Info from Alabama Historical Atlas "30 marked and 54 unmarked graves. Wilson Faulkner (1810-1872) an early county sheriff and coroner is buried here" I have an extra county map that I could send you.
