Dawson Cemetery

Located on Cicerone Rt, about 5miles up, cross the "new" bridge, make a 
left onto a gravel rd, go to the end of the road, (not named), at the 
end is some houses you can park there, you will see an old road going 
straight up the hill you must walk from here, just follow the road 
about a mile, you will see an old pipe line crossing the graveyard is 
in the next crossing or opening on the left, if you start back down the 
hill you just passed it.  

The cemetery is well maintained but old, there is about 20 or more 
graves here that you can't read the names, they are just marked by 
"arrow" looking stones with nothing on them.  The stones that can be 
read are as follows:
