Comments: I am offering a transcription.  I "read" this cemetery in September of 1997.

To reach the Ephriam King Cemetery, turn off of Rt. 87 at the Mason/Jackson County 
Line, climb the hill, and follow the ridge for a short distance with woods to the 
left and a field to the right.  Where the road bears right, you will enter an 
opening into a field to the left. The cemetery is on a small knoll.
