Also as soon as you turn onto Trot Valley Road, turn on Greasy Bend Road. Go perhaps a half mile and turn left on Turner Brothers Lane. You will cross a wooden bridge and then you will see a culvert. There is a trail to the left just before crossing over that culvert. Follow that trail for approximately 1/2 mile and it is mostly uphill. The cemetery is on the right in the woods.

This cemetery covers a large area and some people estimate that there could be over fifty additional graves in that area as there are some graves that are represented by fieldstones and there very well could be some unmarked graves as well.
