Thanks, guys! Beverly and Larry say of the graveyard, "It is well maintained. I don't know who is keeping it up, but they are doing a nice job. The cemetery is surrounded by a sturdy iron fence." "Directions: Take Rt. 13 south from Salisbury to Revels Neck Road (where the prison is). Turn west (right),go 3.4 miles. There will be a tree-lined lane to your left, with a sign that says " Rivers Bend, Cedar Lane Farm, Nelson Lane". On your right will be a dirt road, through a field. You will turn down the dirt road. If you get to the church on the left (it's painted a very light shade of grey), you've gone too far. The dirt road turns left around a group of shrubs and trees, and then the cemetery is directly in front of you." 1. Headstone: LONG Footstone 1a: Millard F. LONG 1874 - 1949 Footstone 1b: Ida F.
