Take a left hand turn onto this road and go 6.0 miles, where you will come to the Barton/Agricola Road. Take a left hand turn onto this road and go 1.4 tenths of a mile and the cemetery will be on your left. The cemetery is overgrown with grass and weeds, and alot of graves need upkeeping at this time. There has been so clearing of trees and there has been a new fence put up on the front and partially down two sides. This would indicate that the cleaning up here has begun and hopefully will be completed in the near future. You will find both World War One and World War Two veterans here. There are many unmarked graves as well as many concrete slabs that have deteriorated to a point information was impossible to read from them. I was given permission to walk this cemetery by Mr. Solly Cowan (a cemetery trustee). I walked this cemetery on April 26th, 2007 and all information was taken from headstone inscriptions and temporary grave markers.
