Here you will come to the river bridge and just before going on to the bridge there is a blacktop road on your right. This is the Agricola/Latonia Road, take it and go .7 tenths of a mile. You will cross a railroad track and then a small concrete bridge. After the small bridge you will see a dirt road on your left. Take this left hand turn and there will be a locked gate ahead of you. You must have the key to open this gate to proceed to the cemetery. Once the gate is open, you will travel another 1.2 miles on the dirt road, and the cemetery is in the woods about 40 yards to your left. There is a partial fence on two sides of the cemetery and it really appears to be a small family cemetery. Story has it that there are at least 7 graves here, however we were only able to find and identify 2 headstones. The cemetery was walked on the 16th day of December 2008 by Jimmy Trussell and the land owner Jeff Howell. Information was taken from the two remaining headstones.
