                 RIVERBEND FARM CEMETERY

Location: Going south on Hwy. 411, turn right at start of four lane approach to Nile 
Perry Bridge. Pass "Gap of the Ridge Church". Just pass the church, on the left turn 
onto dirt road. (There is a gate across the road that has a not trespassing sign 
attached. Turn left at dead end road. At fork in the road, bear right to the point 
where the road turns to come back; about 3 miles, then a sharp right turn. Cemetery 
is through the old gate and on the left of the uppermost knoll, among a group of 
pine trees.[The trees are not easily seen from the road.] The cemetery is to the left 
of a navigation marker pole.
