Go right on 657 for less than 1/4 mile and take the first left on Rt 658. Follow this less than a mile into a hilltop plateau and clearing. The cemetery will be on the right side of the road. FIELD NOTES: 2/14/99 This cemetery is very well kept, mowed with easy access. It is not on the USGS maps. FORMAT Note: Items in parenthesis are the best guess of the researcher.
