It is about at mile marker 155 ( I believe the road is ALLEN) To get to it go SOUTH past SMARTVIEW OVERLOOK mile post 154, on the RIGHT (west side) will be a Pottery setting well back from the road at this intersection take a left off the Parkway, I believe this is ALLEN Rd.. You will immediately see an old house, take a left on the road before it. Follow the road (it is dirt and gravel but okay) it will turn to the right and continue for a couple miles. You will go past a small house on the left,( there were 2 dogs that came out to greet us but did not follow us past the house, I would not try to pet them) the Cem is another ¼ mile further on the right. The Cem is well maintained and you can drive right up to it. ELES UNDERWOOD Samuel H. Underwood b. Feb 19, 1862 d.Oct 24, 1899 Eliza A. Underwood wife of Samuel b. aug 10, 1867 d.
