Cemetery "West of Westover"

I am trying to locate the burials for two people that were buried in a "family cemetery west of Westover" according to a family autobiography. I don't have a name for the cemetery and I haven't been able to find a list of cemeteries for the county anywhere. The burials I am looking for are Ada Maude Walker 3/1897-11/20/1905 and Edith May Walker 5/10/1898-12/29/1905. Any assistance is appreciated.

This county was originally in Lyman County and is now in Jones County. Check out the following websites. When I looked at the LBGS website I noticed a Walker named as a landowner in the early 1900's, maybe that would be where the family plot is located. If I can help anymore let me know, although I am not familiar with Jones County.
