This cemetery is located off the south side of Cobbham Road,
east of Stagecoach Road. It is east of mile marker 6.  It is
approximately 1 1/4 mile off the roadway in a heavily wooded
area.  The cemetery is not maintained and it is bad condition. 
You will need a guide.

There are quarried stone pillars surrounding the cemetery.
These pillars have the original iron spikes in them.  The
original iron fencing between the pillars is gone.  There is
barbwire strung between the pillars but that is falling down.
The two pillars marking where the gate was have the original
iron hinges.
