The cemetery is on the uphill side of the power line road, surrounded by a chain link fence and is extremely over-grown (machete required). No headstones are visible from the nearby gravel roadway due to heavy brush both inside and outside the fence. 6-10 ft Blackberry bushes and small locust trees are predominate; both varieties being dangerously thorny. Local residents report AP has cleared the cemetery at least one time in the past.
There are several large trees in the cemetery, one being a huge Holly tree. No recent graves were observed with 1944 being the latest!
Access: About 2 1/2 miles from highway 52, on state road 608 is a marked school bus turn-around (where the hardtop turns into dirt). Across SR608 from the bus turn-around are 2 unnamed, unnumbered roads. The road to the left is marked "Private-No Trespassing". Avoid this road. Take the other road. Access to the cemetery is about 3/4 mile from state route 608 via a dirt road which will turn to grass. From the grass road, bear right onto the power line gravel road and the cemetery will be immediately on your right.
Note: The power line road is accessible from other locations but this is the most direct route.
