Turn Left onto Battle Creek Rd, You will go about 3-4 miles. Turn left onto Battle Rd. go to Middleton Rd. and turn left again. Battle Cemetery is about 1/4 mile down on the left. There is little room to park, I parked in the drainage ditch. This is on the historical marker at the cemetery. Battle Cemetery and Community established 1880, the Battle community was named for the local landowner Nicholas W. Battle (1820 - 1905). By the 1890's a town had developed including a school, Post Office, businesses, homes and churches. A cemetery was established on land acquired from Alexander and Kenneth McLennan. The earliest documented graves date to 1888. Following the building of the international and Great Northern Railroad line about 1901 the town began to decline. The Battle cemetery stands as a memorial to the area's pioneers. Holmes, A. D.
