Turn left onto Route 612 (Hairfield Lane) and go about 3/10 of a mile. You'll pass a single house on the right and the cemetery is at the end of the yard and only about 10-yards off the main road. A Mr. Davis Hankins ownes the land (in Oct 2000). You should ask permission before going to the cemetery but if no one is home, it is Ok to go into the cemetery. He does have two dogs that run loose in his yard, and they bark constantly. Description: Part of the cemetery is surrounded by an old iron fence. Most of the graves are inside the fenced area; the remaining graves are on the backside of the cemetery and you get to them by walking counter-clockwise around the outside of the fenced area.
