This cemetery is located on the farm formerly owned by the Blakemore family.
J.L. Blakemore and Daniel Crafton were early settlers of the area of what
later would become Humboldt.  It is located west of the Hwy. 45 Bypass and
also west of the new National Armory.  It is in the middle of a field. There
is currently a factory being built on the old Blakemore land and the cemetery
adjoins its property lines. It is south of Route 152.  The original recording
was done by Mrs. Annie Laurie James.  I recently did an update of the cemetery
and found two more stones.  The cemetery is badly overgrown.  There are still
many descendants of the Blakemore's in this area today.
