Gate 19, go 9/10 mile, turn left at second road to left, go 9/10 mile. The
cemetery is located on the left of the dirt road (which is good). It is
well maintained and fenced all the way enclosing the graves. You must park
at the rear and go through double gates. This is located in Sulphur Springs
Township. It is an older cemetery with many Whites, Shelby, Taylor &
