It is on a hilltop behind Dexter. To get to this cemetery as you go out of Dexter going north on County Rd 10 you will make a hard right and go up a gravel driveway. The cemetery is located on the property of Clarence and Delores Evans. Once you have arrived at the house (stop and let them know you would like to drive up to the cemetery) look off to the west (left) of the house and you will see fields, a tree line with an opening to drive through and more fields. Go through the opening and continue to the top of the hill. On the left you will see the cemetery. It was well kept, mowed and trimmed, when I was there. You can drive to this the cemetery but be very careful once you get near the cemetery because you are driving right along the side of the hill and if the grass is wet it can be very slippery. The items that appear within [ ] are not on the tombstone but are comments by me.
