Cemetery is located on State Hwy 95 north of Gordon, 
Alabama. It is on the right after you pass mile marker 13. 
There are two steel gates to the entrance to the property. 
A sign is on the left of the gates that reads Wilson-Smith 
Cemetery established 1857. 

I also found one headstone outside the fenced cemetery to 
the southwest about seventy feet. Here is one headstone 
with nine more small headstones. Thses are just markers 
and have no dates or names on them. There are depression 
in the ground at these markers.

The cemetery sits about two hundred fifty feet from the 
gates toward the east.
