Located north of Butler in the Lone Star Community behind the Lone Star Cemetery, approximately 18 miles NE of Fairfield. The Lone Star Cemetery is the first cemetery you reach upon entering this site, which accounts for the name confusion. When driving to this area, the first thing you will see on the left and at the corner of this cemetery is a wooden sign mounted on the corner of the fence on a post that reads “Lone Star Cemetery”. In looking over the area and seeing the large expanse of burial area and the separation of the areas by cyclone fence, you can see across the Lone Star Baptist Church. The front section of the cemetery fronts on the road; immediately behind this first section is a rusty barbed wire fence and behind this fence is the Mayes Cemetery.
