At one time in history the lower section of the cemetery was referenced to as the "Old Gapsville cemetery" because of the town of Gapsville being nearby the Crystal Springs area. This cemetery was also known in history as the Brush Creek Valley Cemetery. Then through the course of time the cemetery was also referenced to the locals in the area as the Union Christian Cemetery.
This cemetery is located next to to the Crystal Springs store and apartment building located on Old 126 at the Route 70 exit.
You have the choice to either park in the parking lot near the store and walk through the grass to the cemetery.
Or one can drive on an old grassy road that can be driven on beside the lower part of the cemetery. Then park and walk through the cemetery.

At the end of the cemetery road, on a private building, there is a sign stating "private land."
If you have a 4xwheeler or a 4 wheel drive vehicle or a sturdy pair of good shoes on, with someone in good health to make the hike on a nice pleasant day. Then you will be able to travel past the marked private land, making a sharp right turn up to the right side of the hill. You will continue traveling up the hill staying in the middle of the grassy area, with following the power lines midway up the mountain. You will come upon two separate small family cemeteries a short distance apart. The Rohm cemetery ID 2359290
and the Ensley CEMETERY ID 2379902 . At one time in history before World War II, it was said there were approximately 100 more headstones covering the hillside that were removed. The earliest recorded was Morgan Barton, who died in 1810.
