A little way up the road is an unpaved road on the left. This leads to the cemetery. It is hard to find. Description: The cemetery is over grown with weeds and in very bad shape so it was difficult to tell how many graves are there. Most headstones are broken or unmarked. The graves could date from 1850's to late 1990's.
