There's 25 marked graves,and two unmarked. From Route 20 between Bluewell and Princeton, turn on Hurricane Ridge Road, and drive three fourths of a mile. There's a dirt road on the left with a chain across it. It's in a grove of trees. You have to park beside the road, and take a pleasant walk a short distance over a little hill to get to the cemetery. Robert C.
