It is off the Villa Nova Ridge and Laurel Fork Road on what is called Plum Fork. The easiest way to find it is to look for Fred Patterson's house and ask for directions. The Cemetery is across from Mr. Patterson's house and up the hill. As of 1996 when I was there, a family named Miller had recently bought the property and had cleaned the cemetery. The old fence has been taken down and it is said that the Miller family planned to replace it. Earnest C. Cart Jan. 14, 1918 Oct. 6, 1934 IN HEAVEN Floyd E.
