The road is a dirt road and would be on the right coming from Collinsville. Travel on County Road 30 for 0.9 miles and turn left onto County Road 223. Travel 3.1 miles and turn right onto County Road 207 (which is not currently marked). After traveling for 0.8 miles you will come to a road on the right, which is not marked. This road circles the cemetery. The cemetery is not marked and is not visible from the road. The cemetery would be more easily accessed from County Road 51 (which runs beside I-59) since County Road 207 runs into 51, but a bridge on 207 between the cemetery and 51 is out and appears to have been out for some time. The survey begins on the bottom of the hill and proceeds to the top, running left to right up each row. A break in the list denotes a new row of graves. Many of the graves were merely marked with large rocks and others had headstones that were not legible. Persons sharing a headstone will be noted as: “sharing hs w/ …” (sharing headstone with). Information known to the transcriber, but not obtained from the grave will be added in parenthesis. Ford, Cecil Olen Sep. 30, 1937 - Ford, Mary Dan, shares hs w/ Cecil O.
