Come out to Main St. and turn north and go to James Lovelace Road. This road turns to the left or west and you go out it about a quarter of a mile and find a nice long sandy driveway going toward the north, follow this down the hill and find a grassy drive on the right and as you look to the right you can see the cemetery.
