~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From I-5 North or South - take Cottonwood Exit 664, Gas Point / Balls Ferry Road and Go East (which is Fourth St.) to the 4-way stop.

Continue east on Fourth St. to Balls Ferry Rd, then turn left.

Follow Balls Ferry Rd. which goes north for 3/4 mile, crosses RR tracks at a right angle, then continues shortly northward until it follows a sweeping curve to the east.

Take the first right, at Adobe Rd, and continue south. Adobe Rd sharply turns east, then bends to the southeast.

Continue on Adobe Rd a quarter mile past the Drybread Rd. T-intersection. The white cemetery fence will be on your LEFT, where the road slightly bends again to the east.

Three people are buried inside the enclosure. Their names are listed on a thin cultured marble slab sitting on a short pedestal on the west side of the plot, just outside the fence. The main stone monument with bronze plaque sits inside the fence. An unlocked gate is located at the northwest corner.

The monument inside honors Maj. Reading and his three sons, two of which are buried in Virginia. Only his daughter, Alice, and infant son, Pierson Jr., are buried with him here.

Restoration and landscaping was donated to the Native Daughters of the Golden West Hiawatha Parlor #140 by Eagle Scout Zayne Loucks, 2015
