The cemetery is halfway down a hill on the south edge of Potts Hill Road (County Road 28) approximately three-fourths of a mile east of Nipgen and one-eighth of a mile east of Spargursville Road (County Road 149). At the time I compiled this list, on 4 May 1980, the cemetery was well mown most of the time, and was still used for an occasional burial. Most of the stones have been commercially made. 1.
