Warrior Jasper Road is on the left. About 1 mile past this road is Snowville Brent Road. Turn right on this road and go about 2 miles. Turn left on Bibby Brickyard Road. Go to end. Turn right onto Littleton Kilgore Road. Cross RR tracks - go 2/10 of a mile and turn right on a small dirt road beside a chain link fence. Cemetery is at end of road - 2/10 mile. There could be many more graves in this cemetery without stones or rocks. There are lots of empty spaces. This is a pretty cemetery and looked to be well cared for.
