Surveyed by Debra Coursey Pitts and son D.J. in Dec.2002

Location: going south on Hwy.69 about 8 miles past Huntington , turn left on Co.Rd.317 also called "Deadmans Road"(has sign w/ this name on it). Go about 2 miles turn right on Co.Rd.318 (will be where road forks),proceed to Co.Rd.318A (will be on left where blacktop road ends and dirt road begins),Cemetery is at end of 318A.

This cemetery is obvisiouly an old one and the maintainence of it is about average. It sits in a black walnut grove ,all the trees are walnut with the exception of an ancient cedar that is in the middle. I must warn you about the cedar tree.....it is the home of a bee colony !!! Be VERY CAREFUL around it, there are thousands of bees here that call this old tree home !!!
