    The NEAL cemetery is located on the original William NEAL, Jr. farm. It is 
    located on the road (SR3009) between North Point, Indiana County and 
    Hamilton, Jefferson County. Cemetery is between the road and Mahoning Creek. 

    Traveling from North Point to Hamilton cemetery is on the right 
    approximately 3/8 of a mile after road crosses the railroad. Cemetery can 
    not be seen from a car. Cemetery is in a wooded area.

    An Amish farmer has been cutting the weeds once a year at the direction of 
    Clara Hetrick<sp>. Clare is a NEAL descendent. She lives in one of the 
    houses across the road from the cemetery and about an 1/8 mile from the 
    cemetery toward North Point. 

    According to C. A. Currie, who was raised in the vicinity, there are more 
    graves than listed here. Connie Currie states that many headstone were 
    washed away over the years by flooding from the Mahoning Creek.
