The Cemetery is located south west of McKinley Avenue and Harper Road, just west of the I70 overpass. Access from Harper Road just east of Modlich Marble & Granite at 2255 Harper Road. The cemetery is no longer in use. Visitors should call the Tri State Psychiatric Facility. ? Cemetery records can be obtained from Tri State Psychiatric Facility only by court order or by relatives of the deceased. ? Few stones are broken, unreadable, or missing. Many simply read "unknown." As stones are very old and in poor condition, every means available was used to decipher them and make as accurate transcriptions as possible. The first list below is an index of names preceded by the grave number. The second chart is sorted by grave number and includes the exact transcriptions.
