The "entrance" is on the west side of US Hwy 51 about 0.7 of a mile north of Hwy 1054, or 0.3 of a mile south of the German Cemetery Road. The cemetery itself is about 200 yards from the highway through a pasture in a northwesterly direction, on a tree shaded knoll, on the north side of Chubby Bottom. A great big THANKS to E. P.
