First road turn to the right for one block to Martel Road. Turn left on Martel Rd for approximately 3 miles to a railroad underpass. On the other side of the underpass the road forks. Continue south on Beals Chapel Road for about 6 miles until it dead ends. The cemetery is on the right on the property of Dr Lynn Massingill. The cemetery had fallen into neglect until 1999 when a troup of boy Scouts under the supervision of Brenda Sellers, a descendant, took it over as a project. It is now in good repair.
